I have two Red Hat 5.2 machines connected via a cross-over cable. They
can ping eachother, rlogin, etc. What do I need to do to enable them to
NFS mount eachother's drives?
Also they can't rsh, what do I need? NIS?

I'm pretty new to this, so any hints, tips, or advice would be helpful.

Thanks,
-Steve

Newbie here. My 2 machines with RH5.2, also are connected by a cross-over
cable. NFS worked almost right of the box. Everything what I needed was

1. run "setup" as root, make sure that the nfs support is enabled.

2. run netconf, also as root, and give the proper permissions for the
directories to be exported.

3. mount the nfs directory. You may want to see my webpage:

in which I explain "Linux Newbie Administrator" problems in
some detail.

Hope this helps. Best regards,

b.k.
