Hi John,
You would need microsoft services for unix (SFU) for NFS connectivity
FYI - so no-one goes haring off in the wrong direction.
SFU is the server-side component, equivalent to running nfsd(8).
On the client side, only certain editions of Windows can speak NFS:
- Windows 10 *Enterprise* can mount remote NFS shares.
- Windows 7 *Ultimate* can mount remote NFS shares.
(No idea about Win8, sorry.)
Win10Ent, at least, has flexible authentication options, but IIRC
defaults to uid=0/gid=0 (gee, thanks). It prefers to use Kerberos
security, which won't work with OpenBSD's NFS server. It's possible to
make this work reasonably well, but it takes a fair bit of time.
So, as everyone else said, you're better off running Samba on your
OpenBSD system. Have fun.
