Re: Samba as alternative to NetServer - How to use USRPRF Password

It probably depends on the version of Win 10 - if it's available, it is 
free. One link I found said to go to Programs and Features, then click 
on the left-hand option to show Windows features. Then look for Services 
for NFS and click in the checkbox, then press OK.

that gets it all started for installation - then there is the matter of 
permissions, like should you allow anonymous, other things - you will 
likely want to set up by the UID/GID, I think it is, in the user profile 
on IBM i.

The link was found as title "How to set up a free NFS server on Windows 10"
