That is easy. Search the net for nfsd-server-2.1 for a example. From
the readme:
This package implements a simple user level NFS server based on the
sunrpc3.9 package that was posted to the net a few months ago. The
current version only provides read access from the clients. It has
been tested between a VAX11/780 running 4.3BSD (the server) and
several diskful SUN3/60 running SunOS 3.4 (the clients) and on a
diskless SUN3/50 running SunOS 3.2 remounting its own root at a
lower level of its file hierarchy.
The server is implemented by two programs unfsd and unfsmntd.
Unfsmntd handles the mount protocol, and unfsd handles all sub-
sequent operations.
