7. Assign the Everyone group the appropriate permissions on the NFS Share. 8. Enable anonymous access to the share. To enable anonymous access to an NFS share, do the following: 1.

Best practices for running Server for NFS • Provide user-level security. • Secure files. • Secure new drives. • Allow users to disconnect before stopping the Server for NFS service. • Use naming conventions to identify shares with EUC encoding. • Protect configuration files. For further details, see the online help for Microsoft Services for Network File System. User Name Mapping The User Name Mapping component provides centralized user mapping services for Server for NFS and Client for NFS. User Name Mapping lets you create maps between Windows and UNIX user and group accounts even though the user and group names in both environments may not be identical. User Name Mapping lets you maintain a single mapping database making it easier to configure account mapping for multiple computers running MSNFS. In addition to one-to-one mapping between Windows and UNIX user and group accounts, User Name Mapping permits one-to-many mapping. This lets you associate multiple Windows accounts with a single UNIX account. This can be useful, for example, when you do not need to maintain separate UNIX accounts for individuals and would rather use a few accounts to provide different classes of access permission. You can use simple maps, which map Windows and UNIX accounts with identical names. You can also create advanced maps to associate Windows and UNIX accounts with different names, which you can use in conjunction with simple maps. User Name Mapping can obtain UNIX user, password, and group information from one or more Network Information Service (NIS) servers or from password and group files located on a local hard drive. The password and group files can be copied from a UNIX host or from a NIS server. User Name Mapping periodically refreshes its mapping database from the source databases, ensuring that it is always kept up-to-date as changes occur in the Windows and UNIX name spaces. You can also refresh the database anytime you know the source databases have changed. 106 Microsoft Services for Network File System (MSNFS)
