Wolfgang, It has a /dev filesystem but exporting it doesn't work. Yes, user and group ids are supported and it can either be from group/passwd files or NIS. It does have hard and soft links. It is a pretty extensive port (formerly known as Internix).
It is a solution for environments that have IT departments full of Micro$soft trained robots located an ocean away who will only allow installation of Redmond-blessed add-ons. I'm not pushing it as a solution but it is a free way to have a mount a NFS-style filesystem on an embedded linux board. I believe I did mention that I disliked recommending it but to deny it exists would be censorship. Marc W.
