- Amiga nfsd beta release, 30th November 1999
-
- This is a slightly less unfinished NFS v2 server for the Amiga.
- What you see so far is the work of Joseph Walton <ver@etla.org>, with some
- important improvements by Henryk Richter. Contributions are welcome.
-
- This software is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
- License; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any
- later version.
-
- As an early product, there is little or no documentation, but if you
- know NFS, it should all be fairly self-explanatory.
-
- NFS is an RPC service, so make sure you have a portmapper running on the
- server. A suitable implementation comes with AmiTCP (it requires more
- stack than usual - 16k should be sufficient).
-
- nfsd.config determines what is exported and to whom. It also purports
- to be self-documenting. Overlapping exports are currently permitted
- (for example, a directory is exported read-only to everybody but
- a subdirectory is exported read-write to a specific host). However,
- this facility may well be removed for performance reasons.
-
- nfsd.inode will be created and used to store a single 32 bit value.
- (Initialise to 0x00000001 before the first run if warning messages
- bother you)
-
- Command line options:
-
- GMTOFFSET/K/N,ALLOWROOT/S,VERBOSE/S
-
- Use GMTOFFSET to set the offset (in hours) of local time from GMT. NFS
- talks in GMT, whereas the Amiga's filing system uses local time. The default
- is zero.
-
- ALLOWROOT causes requests from UID 0 to be considered valid, rather than
- mapped to 'nobody.' This is usually considered a security hole.
-
- VERBOSE enables considerably more output.
-
- nfsd has a home on the web, currently at
- http://www.pr0n.freeserve.co.uk/nfsd.html
