Title: nfs-kernel-server.dsl Description: NFS server for DSL Version: 1.0-1 Author: This is derived from nfs-kernel-server in Debian Woody. Original-site: www.debian.org Copying-policy: GPL -----==[ Color = red Filesize: 34kb ]==----- Extension by: Jason W Comments: nfs-kernel-server is the server side processes that control sharing directories through NFS. _ The first thing you need to do after installing this extension is create an /etc/exports file. Here is a sample for sharing the /mnt/sda1 and /mnt/hda3 directories. _ #/etc/exports /mnt/sda1 *(rw,sync) /mnt/hda3 *(rw,sync) #end of file. _ Then create a /ramdisk/etc/hosts.allow file: # #/etc/hosts.allow # lockd: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 statd: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 portmap: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 nfsd: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 mountd: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 #end of file. _ And I use this /ramdisk/etc/hosts.deny to replace the /etc/hosts.deny file. # #/etc/hosts.deny # #end of file. _ After all of this, issue at the command prompt: _ #/etc/init.d/portmap start #/etc/init.d/nfs-common start #/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start _ If your server's internal IP address is 192.168.0.1, then in your client machine type: _ #mount 192.168.0.1:/mnt/hda3 /data _ to mount the shared server directory /mnt/hda3 to client directory /data. _ This here is a quick and easy configuration to share files Linux to Linux in an insecure manner at home when security is not an issue.
