-This is the Linux NFS utility package version 0.1. It is based on knfsd
-1.4.7.
+This is version 1.0.1 of nfs-utils, the Linux NFS utility package.
-WARNING: The NFS servers in Linux 2.2 to 2.2.12 are not compatible with
-other NFS client implemenations. If you plan to use Linux 2.2.x as an
-NFS server for non-Linux NFS clients, you should get the Linux NFS
-kernel from the Linux NFS CVS server:
-1. Set the environment variable, CVS_RSH, to ssh.
-2. Login to the Linux NFS CVS server:
+0. PROJECT RESOURCES
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs login
+Home page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfs/
-without password if it is your first time.
+To use the 'gss' support you must have kerberos-5 development
+libraries installed.
+Otherwise use "--disable-gss"
-3. Check out the current Linux 2.2 NFS kernel:
+To use nfsv4 support you need libevent and libnfsidmap development
+libraries. They are available from
+ http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
+ http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/libnfsidmap/
+Otherwise use --disable-nfsv4
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co -r linux-2-2-nfsv2 linux-2.2
-4. If you don't want to use the current NFS kernel, you can find out
-for which kernels the NFS patch is available:
+1. COMPILING WITHOUT PACKAGE MANAGEMENT
-# cd linux-2.2
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs status -v Makefile
+To compile without using a package management system, unpack the
+sources and run these commands:
-Then generate the kernel patch:
+ # ./configure
+ # make
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs rdiff -ko -u -r linux-2-2-xx -r linux-2-2-xx-nfsv2-xxxxx linux-2.2
+To install binaries and documenation, run this command:
-If there is no NFS patch for the kernel you are interested in, you have
-to make a patch closest to your kernel version and apply it by hand.
+ # make install
-There is a Linux NFS kernel source tree for Linux 2.3, linux-2.3, on
-the Linux NFS CVS server. However, it is not maintained. We will need
-all the help we can get. To contribute to the Linux NFS project, please
-go to
+You will have to install the two NFS service scripts yourself.
+Service scripts for RedHat 6.x and 7.x are in etc/redhat. They
+have been tested on RedHat 6.2 and 7.1.
-http://www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org
-and login as "beta" with password "beta4u". You register yourself.
-please send an email to nfs-admin@linuxnfs.sourceforge.org with
+2. COMPILING WITH RPM
-1. Your user id on www.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org.
-2. The area in NFS you'd like to work on.
+On RedHat 6.2 and 7.1, you can use
-You will be notified when it is done.
+ # rpm -ta nfs-utils-1.0.1.tar.gz
-There is a Linux NFS mailing list at
-
-http://lists.varesearch.com/lists/listinfo/nfs/
-
-You can subscribe it and search the mailing list archive via a web
-browser.
-
-The nfs-utils package is avaible from the CVS server:
-
-# cvs -z 9 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxnfs.sourceforge.org:/cvsroot/nfs co nfs-utils
-
-will get the latest version.
-
-The tar file is at
-
-ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/nfs/nfs-utils-0.1.tar.gz
-
-To compile, just do
+to build the source and binary RPMs.
-# ./configure
-# make
-# make install
+3. COMPILING FOR DEBIAN
-will install the nfs-utils binaries. You have to install the NFS
-service scripts. There are 2 in etc/redhat provided for RedHat 6.x.
-They are tested on RedHat 6.1.
+The nfs-utils tree has an up-to-date debian directory, so the usual
+debian build scripts should work. The simplest way to build binary
+debs, however, is simply to become root (or use fakeroot) and run:
-On RedHat 6.1, you can use
+ # debian/rules binary
-# rpm -ta nfs-utils-0.1.tar.gz
-to build the source and binary RPMs.
+4. REQUIRED VERSIONS OF OTHER TOOLS
-If your mount from util-linux is too old, you will need 2 patches:
+Proper NFS operation requires a 'mount' program from util-linux 2.11f
+or later.
