(XP to try, 2003 for production use) I want to use the NFS services. I followed a HOWTO: http://www.csparkx.com/CygwinNFS/index.xhtml My windows account name is pdon (administrator privileges). I created a directory /home/fenix (owned by pdon) which I want to export, so that a backup of some directories of a unix machine can be performed every night. My /etc/exports : (AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD = IP address of Unix machine) /home/fenix AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD(rw,no_root_squash) On the unix (Solaris) machine (AAA.BBB.CCC.XXX = IP addr.of Windows machine) I issue the command: # /usr/sbin/mount -F nfs AAA.BBB.CCC.XXX:/home/fenix /mnt Mounting works. I can transfer files, no problem. Then I transferred a 666 Mb file, no problem, but... this generates TENS of THOUSANDS of error messages in the Application log : Description The description for Event ID (0) in Source (nfsd) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information of message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: nfsd: PID 3676: Unable to setgroups: Invalid argument filling my whole event log file (making me loose all information on other previous events :-( -- this I don't like .... In Cygwin's /var/log/nfsd.log, also over 80.000 messages : nfsd[3676] 06/04/107 12:02 auth_clnt.c 332 : Unable to setgroups: Invalid argument How can I make the errors not to happen? I tried alternative lines in /etc/exports (the UID/GID are those of the user under which I installed Cygwin and by which /home/fenix is owned) /home/fenix AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD(rw,root_squash,anonuid=1004,anongid=513) /home/fenix AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD(rw,all_squash,anonuid=1004,anongid=513) Same results. and by Also in WinXP, same messages.
