Do I need to define what parts of > my system that it shall be possible to NFS mount? If so, where? Well, man mount covers it pretty well. Basically: # mount -t nfs nfsserver:/usr /foo Make sure to enable 'NFS Clent' in /etc/rc.conf on the client machine, and NFS Server on the server machine. Look the the man page for /etc/exports for the format on it; it should be on the NFS server machine, and it specifies which filesystems can be exported and to which clients they can be exported. > -- > Haavard Vaagstoel *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is * | that I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet."| * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
