If you're serving NFS clients, just enable nfsd and mountd in /etc/rc.conf (if you're using a late model FreeBSD, that is), and read the appropriate man pages. Then write yourself an /etc/exports file (see exports(5)). If you're serving SMB clients (LanManager, Windows NT/95/WfW), Samba will do the trick. (http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/) You can simply install the FreeBSD port (or a package). If you want to serve Netware clients, then currently you're out of luck without a commercial add-on (and here I speak under correction). -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
