The "[NFSSERVER]" Section of the ini-file

The "[NFSSERVER]" section of the ini-file may have the following entry lines you can customize for particular needs and applications.

Note that if you change parameter values in the [NFSSERVER] section of the xwp.ini file, you should restart NFS-Server for your new values to take effect.

AUTO_CHECK_ExPortmapper=1

This line specifies to check whether an external portmapper exists to use it.

COUNT_DUPES=1

to disable counting of the same NFS clients.

FL_CHRISLESLIE=N

With N=1, the FL_CHRISLESLIE binary setting enables caching upon NFS writing. This speeds up writing files on the NFS server box due to caching file handles. Normally, every NFS_WRITE command of the NFS protocol opens a file handle, sets an offset, writes some amount of bytes, etc. This setting is especially useful for copying huge files. The default value of FL_CHRISLESLIE is 0.

FL_MASK_HIDDEN_ATTRS=1

Value 1 for this option specifies to mask (suppress) hidden attributes for files.

FL_MASK_SYSTEM_ATTRS=1

Value 1 for this option specifies to mask (suppress) system attributes for files.

FL_MITXELENA=1

This line lets you avoid the directory permission problem for some NFS-Clients (e.g., that of SCO UNIX 5.0.5).

This setting changes the default directory permission value from 755 to 777.

FL_TZERAN=N

The FL_TZERAN setting allows you to change the time zone difference (e.g., FL_TZERAN=2 will add 2 hours to system time). Generally, the time zone setting uses the one from the operating system (i.e. the MS Windows' setting). The FL_TZERAN option allows you to adjust time zone in some cases when the time zone settings properties are differing on the PC box and UNIX box (e.g., different daylight saving settings, etc.). The default value of FL_TZERAN is 0 (hours).

FlushFRDC=1

This line provides for each transfer file operation to be performed without buffering, i.e. each read operation must follow the open-file operation and the close-file operation must follow each write operation. This mode may significantly decrease transferring (huge) files in performance.

NameConvertMode=0...4

This option specifies the directory/file name conversion mode while directory/file name being passed through the NFS-Server:

• 0 - no case converting (as MS Windows makes name conversion)
  

  Important Note
  Since MS Windows does not distinguish the upper/lower case in directory/file names, you can destroy the MS Windows file system when writing files from UNIX to MS Windows with NameConvertMode=0. For example, two different file names for UNIX, "A.a" and "a.A", are the same names for MS Windows.

• 1 - converting names to lower case (e.g., FILEname => filename, Aa => aa)
• 2 - converting names to upper case (e.g., FILEname => FILENAME, Aa => AA)
• 3 - using the Shift Symbol while converting names (this mode is default).
  

  The Shift Symbol ('!' by default) for NameConvertMode=3 lets you choose a character to indicate case changing of letters in directory/file names. The Shift Symbol is used as 'escape-symbol' on your PC, i.e., each upper-case letter in a remote name will be converted to a pair 'escape-symbol and lower-case letter' in a related local name, and each such pair in a local name will be converted back to the capitalized letter in a related remote name
  (e.g., FILEname <==> !f!i!l!ename, Aa <==> !aa, aA <==> a!a).

• 4 - allowing for some special characters (i.e., illegal in names, such as '"', '*', ':', '$', '|', etc) to be used in directory/file names (by NFS clients).

NFS_PORT=N

This line specifies NFS-Server to use port N (other than default 2049).

NOCHECK_UID_ON_MNT=1

Value 1 for this option specifies to disable testing of UID during mounting.

NOSubDirectory=0

Value 0 for this option specifies to disable mounting a subdirectory of a shared directory.

UseAttributesCache=0

to let you change any once mounted removable drive (like CD or FDD).

This decreases the NFS connection performance.
