Hello all,
I've prepared updated packages for nfs-server 2.3.
Hint : http://www.oneparticularharbor.net/cygwin/nfs-server/setup.hint
Binary : http://www.oneparticularharbor.net/cygwin/nfs-server/nfs-server-2.3-1.tar.bz2
Source : http://www.oneparticularharbor.net/cygwin/nfs-server/nfs-server-2.3-1-src.tar.bz2
As active development on the package seems to have stalled
(see http://sourceforge.net/projects/unfs/ - last release was
three years ago), and this release contains significant changes,
I decided to bump the version number to 2.3 to reflect the fact
that this package has essentially become a fork of the original
code.
Changes in this release include:
- Configuration now handled completely by autoconf
- Updated source layout and general source code cleanup
- Much updated nfs-server-config script
- Improved documentation
- Removed CDF support in favor of future ClusterNFS integration.
- Added support for simple '*' as allowed host in /etc/exports
- Added support for setting root uid on command line
With these changes, the nfs-server now passes almost all of the
Connectathon (http://www.connectathon.org/nfstests.html) tests.
If anyone knows of other nfs-server test suites that could be used
to help verify the correctness of the server, I'd be happy to get
a pointer to them.
