I'm running portmap, rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd as services. I've used
the nfs-server-config script to install the services. The OS is Win2k
Pro + SP3. Cygwin is stock 1.3.20-1.

On the Linux machine I've added a line for the exported Cygwin directory
in /etc/fstab like this:
192.168.0.61:/home/ptsekov /home/ptsekov/laptop-home nfs user 0 0
192.168.0.61 is my laptop which is running Cygwin :) This line allows
oridnary users to issue the 'mount' command for the specified entry,
see fstab(5). So, on the linux box, logged in as a normal user, I just
type 'mount ~/latop-home' and it works :)
