Latest rev of NFS server

[Robb, Sam]

This version re-enables the checks for owner/group of the
exports file, and updates the nfs-server-config script to
set the owner/permissions on the default exports file
to the expected values.

If you already have an existing exports file, you will need
to explicitly change owner/permissions on the file yourself:

  chmod 664 /etc/exports
  chown 18:544 /etc/exports

I'd like to update the nfs-server-config script to be more
interactive/proactive in some cases.  Asking if a user wants
to set the permissions on the exports file if one exists,
for example.  Suggestions for improvement are welcome.

  nfs-server:





  Changes:
* Enabled checks for owner/group of exports file
* nfs-server-config script sets correct owner &
  permissions for default exports file
* Made nfs-server-config script more verbose
* Updated README to contain correct build instructions
* Updated README to contian correct binary distibution

NFS server issue with directory permissions

[Pavel Tsekov]

I've been playing again with the nfs server and found another problem.

I still mount my Cygwin home under my home dir on a Linux workstation. The 
only thing I've changed and seems to be the one that triggers the problem
is, that on the Cygwin machine I've changed the permissions for my home 
dir like that:

ptsekov@mordor /home
$ ls -la
total 8
drwxrwxrwx+   4 Administ None0 Jan 31 12:38 .
drwxrwxrwx+   9 Administ None 4096 Jan 31 12:33 ..
drwx--+   2 Administ None0 Feb 15 17:30 Administrator
drwx--+   4 ptsekov  None 4096 Feb 15 18:44 ptsekov

Now when I try, for the first time, to mount the Cygwin home on Linux, it 
seems to succeed. But when I do ls -l ~/laptop-home I see this:

[ptsekov@moria ptsekov]$ mount laptop-home/
[ptsekov@moria ptsekov]$ ls -l laptop-home/
ls: laptop-home/zlib-1.1.3-1.zip: Stale NFS file handle
total 0
[ptsekov@moria ptsekov]$ mount
[... snip other mounts ...]
192.168.0.61:/home/ptsekov on /home/ptsekov/laptop-home type nfs 
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,addr=192.168.0.61,user=ptsekov)

Now in the Event Viewer's Application Log on the Cygwin machine I see 
something really confusing:

Win32 Process Id = 0x374: Cygwin Process Id = 0x37C: Cannot stat /home/lib.

The funny thing is that I don't have /home/lib on the Cygwin machine :)

Ok I umount the dir and try to mount it again and now the output is 
different:

[ptsekov@moria ptsekov]$ umount laptop-home
[ptsekov@moria ptsekov]$ mount
/dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
[ptsekov@moria ptsekov]$ mount laptop-home/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 
192.168.0.61:/home/ptsekov,
   or too many mounted file systems

Let me know if you want me to provide more info, debug, etc.

P.S. The same thing happens if the directory permissions are say
770. It only works with permissions set to 777.

I've wrangled with this a bit, but unfortunately the only printer I
have is not PS or one supported by ifhp. It looks like there may be a
way to get it to work with GhostScript, but I'm running into things in
the documentation like "select the GhostScript driver suitable for your 
printer" that are just not enough for a newbie to go on.

I still think this would be a useful package and I vote for it, but 
I cannot do a full review. Sorry.
