As active development on the package seems to have stalled (see http://sourceforge.net/projects/unfs/ - last release was three years ago), and this release contains significant changes, I decided to bump the version number to 2.3 to reflect the fact that this package has essentially become a fork of the original code. Changes in this release include:=20=20 - Configuration now handled completely by autoconf - Updated source layout and general source code cleanup - Much updated nfs-server-config script - Improved documentation - Removed CDF support in favor of future ClusterNFS integration. - Added support for simple '*' as allowed host in /etc/exports - Added support for setting root uid on command line With these changes, the nfs-server now passes almost all of the Connectathon (http://www.connectathon.org/nfstests.html) tests. If anyone knows of other nfs-server test suites that could be used to help verify the correctness of the server, I'd be happy to get a pointer to them. *** INSTALLATION *** To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
