I forgot, beware of the firewall in your server. Best, shut it down while experienting, then back on. I don't remember which ports to open, ask the list :-)
Tim, Don't know anything about 10.2 but I doubt it's changed much. NFS is very stable. Verner is right. NFS is easy if you RTFM first. man nfs, man exports. Once you have the /etc/exports file set up on the server, the basic command on the server is 'exportfs -a'. Once you have the /etc/fstab file set up on the client the basic command is 'mount -a'. The firewall is the gotcha. For that reason, I might use YaST to set up the server (or just turn the firewall off as verner suggests). But if you do use YaST, go and check /etc/exports and /etc/fstab by hand. Make sure that you understand what each option is for and that it's what you want (hint: the default that YaST sets in /etc/exports isn't what I'd want) HTH, Dave PS Don't use NIS! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
