Very Computer

I am trying to setup one of my Linux machines as an NFS server, but can't find
any documentation on how to configure rpc.nfsd.  I want to set up directories
which are accessible from both the 2nd linux box and the Dos/Windows box.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

nayoung# cat /etc/exports

/      totaloa(rw)
/home  mcrc2(rw)

nayoung#

First line above, indicates that My exported file system is '/' and
machine allowed to access '/' on your NFS server is 'totaloa' and permissions
are read/write'(rw). Second line is same. and REBOOT your linux.

Then, Of course, you should mount on your client machine(here,'totaloa' and
'mcrc2') like this.

totaloa# mount nayoung:/ /home/na
And
mcrc2# mount nayoung:/home /home/na

Make sure that nayoung,totaloa,mcrc2  have DNS entries on your network
and Your linux kernel is compiled with NFS enable.

I hope that this would any help to you.

The NIS-Howto is good reading. If that's all your going to do it should be
relativly simple.

on the linux box which is your nfs server edit /etc/export and
add what directories you desire.  on the other linux box edit /etc/fstab
so it will mount the desired directories from your nfs server when booted.

if this network is only a few machines, i wouldnt bother running amd.

I suggest a good sys admin book like the Nemeth-Snyder-Seebasss book
or the Frisch book by O'reilly, or the Linux books from O'Reilly,
or the fine works of the LDP, available at no charge on sunsite & tsx-11.
