Good suggestion iff number of machines > 2! This is a bit tricky as I only have one solid machine and the laptop. My other machines are a 486-66 crash-box (building RELENG_4 world as I write) and a -current crash box. What I may eventually have to do is make one of these two into a router. However I seem to have managed to sort NFS out. I've used the network and mask combo twice in /etc/exports. > (It's a little harder if the laptop is the NFS server, but not > impossible.) It would be nice, but not essential to serve from the laptop.
