The nfs-server package is now available for experimentation.

This package is a port of the Universal NFS server.  It contains
an NFS daemon (rpc.nfsd) and a mount daemon (rpc.mountd).  Unlike
other NFS daemons, this NFS server runs entirely in user space.
This makes it a tad slower than other NFS implementations, and
also introduces some awkwardnesses in the semantics (for instance,
moving a file to a different directory will render its file handle
invalid).

Changes and limitations relative to the original nfs-server source:

    * initial Cygwin port based on work by Rico Junio
    * exports file access control checks disabled
    * exented group info disabled
    * added nfs-server-config script for initial setup

                       *** INSTALLATION ***

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your
system.  Then, run setup and answer all of the questions.  nfs-server
is located in the "Net" category.  Click on this category to install
nfs-server if it is not already installed.  If nfs-server is already
installed, it will be updated automatically.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com .  I would appreciate it if you would
use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.  This includes
ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin in general.
