''' | Notes: | ||
</ | *Originally written by forum user <b>NetBoot</b> | ||
*Only Windows Vista Ultimate and Vista Enterprise Supports NFS Out of the Box by Installing Windows Components, Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications. | |||
*For other NT-based Operating Systems, Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server install the free Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 | |||
<br><br>Download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=896c9688-601b-44f1-81a4-02878ff11778&displaylang=en Windows Services for UNIX Version 3.5] | |||
The install defaults should be fine. | |||
<br>Complete the installation and reboot. | |||
Telnet to your Syno box. We will need a copy of the passwd and group files located in the /etc | |||
<br>Copy the files to a secure directory using the cp command and change the permissions with chmod. | |||
cp /etc/passwd /volume1/secure/passwd | |||
<br>cp /etc/group /volume1/secure/group | |||
<br>chmod 777 /volume1/secure/passwd | |||
<br>chmod 777 /volume1/secure/group | |||
Next, copy passwd and group files to C:\SFU\common\ directory | |||
<br>'''Security Note: You may want to consider removing the root accounts from those files''' | |||
Next, go into you Programs Menu/Windows Services for Unix and start Services for UNIX Administration | |||
Click on Services for UNIX[local]and select the Settings tab. | |||
<br>Computer name should be localhost | |||
Next, in the tree tab, click on Client for NFS | |||
<br>The File Permissions and Performance default settings should be fine. | |||
<br>We may play with these settings later. | |||
Next, in the tree tab, click on User Name Mapping. | |||
<br>In the Configuration tab, where going to use Password and Group files. So, click on that bullet. | |||
Now we're going to select the password and group files that we copied over earlier. | |||
Browse for the files and select passwd for Password file path and name. | |||
<br>Browse for the files and select group for Group file path and name. | |||
<br>You should now have C:\SFU\common\passwd and C:\SFU\common\group | |||
<br>Now, click on Apply | |||
Now click on the Maps tab. | |||
<br>We're going to do simple maps. So, check the simple maps box. | |||
<br>Since we are using simple maps. The Windows Domain Name should default to your computer name. | |||
<br>Now, click on Apply | |||
Next, we're going to setup our permissions. Still in the Maps tab, under Advanced maps click on Show User Maps. | |||
<br>Under Windows domain Name click List Windows Users to fetch the Windows users. Next, click on the List UNIX Users to fetch your UNIX users. We're going to map our user account. | |||
<br>Click your windows user name to the left, and your UNIX user name to the right, and click Add. | |||
<br>You should now have a Mapped user account. | |||
<br>Click the Apply. | |||
Now telnet to your Syno box and edit the exports file. | |||
<br>Here's a quick sample to get you going | |||
<pre> | |||
/volume1/nfs/public 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) | |||
</pre> | |||
Your subnet may be different then mine, so adjust for yours. | |||
Happy NFS serving, | |||
Net.... | |||
<br>P.S. This is just a fastpace setup. Other may find it better to add the UID and GID with the exports. | |||
<br>NFS and Samba: I would strongly suggest users create a directory for NFS and not use your Samba shares for NFS together. I would create a nfs directory off root and setup your NFS shares there and map your exports in there. ie: /volume1/nfs/public I'm sure there would be file lock issues,etc. Maybe someone who is an expert in NFS and Sambe can verify this. | |||
