I'm trying to get this to work, but when I attemmpt to run it, I get:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program ./cvs because of the following
errors:
        0509-150   Dependent module libnsl.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.
        0509-022 Cannot load module libnsl.a(shr.o).
        0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.
        0509-022 Cannot load module ./cvs.


Obviously, I need to install libnsl -- but what package is it a part of?
Where do I get it?

If you want to, you can try to check out the tn5250 source from
SourceForge... that might be a good test to see if CVS works on your
machine as a client:

To do that, type the following two commands:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/tn5250 login

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/tn5250 co -r b0-16 tn5250

To run CVS as a server is a bit more complicated.  There are two ways that
I know of to do that... the easiest and most secure is to use SSH (but of
course, then you have to have SSH working in PASE as well) the other way
is to set it up as a pserver, which involves configuring it in
/etc/inetd.conf and starting the inetd server with STRTCPSVR *INETD

I'd love to try any of these methods, but I can't because I can't get CVS
to work at all with that library missing.
