Linux Network File System (NFS) Linux Server Setup NFS requires
RPC to operate. The following daemons are run when the linuxconf
nfs service is started: - rpc.rquotad - Enforces the set quotas
for remote mounted NFS systems. - rpc.mountd - Performs the
requested mounts. - rpc.nfsd - Handles the user interface to the
kernel module that performs NFS. To set up the server side: -
Edit the file "/etc/exports" as in one of the examples below. -
Then type "exportfs -a". - Activate NFS services using
linuxconf. - After making any changes, restart the nfs daemon
either by using "linuxconf" or typing "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs
restart". Also if you want changes to the /etc/exports file to
take place immediately, install them with the "exportfs -r"
command. Doing this, you will not need to restart nfs for
changes to be in effect. This is an example of an exports file
for general use: /data markslinux(rw,no_root_squash)
tomscomputer(ro) The third line allows markslinux to have full
access even at the root level to all files
