NFS Mounts

Sam has been configured to be a NFS server. It is currently sharing /u, /u2, /u3 and /home to all computers on the 192.168.1.0/24 network.

Some notable computers that rely on these shares are Robin and Crecom.

If either server is unable to mount the /home directory only the root user will be able to log in to it.

Sharing a folder

To setup a folder to be shared by Sam, add a new entry in /etc/exports

<Folder_on_Sam> 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure,no_root_squash)
