UNIX and OS X permissions
So I tried Unix Service for Windows. Installed it on XP Pro, not sure if you can use this on home edition w/o a reg hack. Once I got it installed I set up a folder to share using the standard folder properties. I had to reboot after installing the software so that the tab would show up.
It took me hours to figure this out but what I had set wrong was the Anonymous UID and GID was set to a “-2″ I checked on my /etc/passwd file on my os X box and -2 mapped to nobody and as an unprivileged user. That was not good. So I set anonymous GID on the xp box to 0, 0 is what is set to root.
Voila, I was able to mount the share from os x into windows XP using NFS with full control. Don’t forget the account “ANONYMOUS LOGON” which needs to be added to the “Security” tab of the fileshare on the xp side.
