Look up info on export, /etc/export, and mount (mount -t nfs). Can't remember exactly how to do it off the top of my head. Adam Oliver http://www.meyedev.com/people/index.html aolive1@umbc.edu AOL IM: Zor_Prime09 Yahoo IM: GendoIkari69 MSN Messenger: GendoIkari69@yahoo.com

We have 3 SuSE linux boxes with ethernet cards correctly configured. On 192.168.0.0 is installed the nfs server with 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 nfs clients. All installed with Yast2.

How do we communicate with the other machines? How can I get a file from 192.168.0.0 in /home/fred into one of the clients. It can't be that hard no?

Any help much appreciated.

Steve.

It's actually *very* easy. Try `man exports' :) ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

IMHO, the best way to share files by NFS through your network is to create a directory in your server and you clients and share it. Let's say that this directory is /usr/local/share/netwide, on you server add this to your /etc/exports file: /usr/local/share/netwide *(rw,no_root_squash) and on each client's /etc/fstab file add: <servername>:/usr/local/share/netwide /usr/local/share/netwide nfs defaults 0 0 do a 'rcnfsserver restart' on your server and a 'rcnfs restart' on each client and all should go fine.
