I also tried it, and successfully mounted various exports to a few *nix boxs on lan. couldnt get in running via inetd but thats probably me, I will send the errors if you want though. Also my event log is filling rapidly with errors such as "Win32 Process Id = 0x724 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x724 : Unable to setgroups: Invalid argument." (also similar ones regarding seteguid and seteuid.)is this expected ?
I ran portmap, then mountd and then nfsd from the command line with no arguments which worked fine. As services you need to add -F as an argument for portmapper and to rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd The commands i ended up using to install were cygrunsrv.exe -I "sunrpc" -p /usr/sbin/portmap -a -F cygrunsrv.exe -I "mountd" -p /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd --dep sunrpc -a -F cygrunsrv.exe -I "nfsd" -p /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd --dep sunrpc -a -F It could be an idea to write a script to do this much as with Corrina's ssh-host-config or serge's init-config. With that said, thanks very much for your work on this, as once again cygwin and its developers make my life easier :) Vince > -----Original Message----- > From: Robb, Sam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 20 December 2002 15:55 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: nfsd and mountd > > > > Hello Sam, > > > > I download your packages.
