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. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
