nfs-server-config died
Hi, When I executed /usr/bin/nfs-server-config, it died around line 223 due to the assignment to readonly variable $UID. Is this a known issue? The version of the package is nfs-server-2.3-3. -- Hiroki Sakagami -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

The version of the package is nfs-server-2.3-3. This probably has to do with the switch of /bin/sh from ash to bash. UID is a reserved variable in bash, but not in ash. The variable needs to be renamed. Sam?

Thanks for explaining this, Igor :-) Actually, the variable can be eliminated - it was left over from a previous version of the script, and isn't actually referenced. For now, you should be able to comment out (or delete) the line that makes the assignment to the UID variable. I'll see about getting a new version of nfs-server out with this fix later today. -Samrobb -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
