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.
