The log files are created by cygrunsrv when the service is first started. If cygrunsrv ran as LocalSystem, the logs will be owned by LocalSystem. The default umask (set in /etc/profile) is 022, which means "turn off group and world write permissions". I doubt there's anything the nfs server itself can do about this. You might try changing the umask in /etc/profile, removing the log, and starting over... If this works, then it definitely should be in the README. > I also noticed that nfs-server-config script did not work quite right > the second time you ran it.
