NAME

nfssetup − set up the network file system (NFS)

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/nfssetup

DESCRIPTION

nfssetup is an interactive facility that allows you to set up your system as an NFS server, an NFS client, or both.  It also allows you to modify NFS on your system.  Note that your system’s networking software must be configured and running before you set up NFS.  Depending on the information you provide to nfssetup, it appends entries to the /etc/exports file, /etc/fstab file, or both. 

Note

To remove entries from the /etc/exports or /etc/fstab you must edit them by hand. The nfssetup command only appends entries to these files. 

You can run nfssetup while the system is in multiuser mode.  To invoke nfssetup, type the following and then answer the questions:

# /usr/sbin/nfssetup

When nfssetup has completed, you can either reboot the system to start the NFS daemons and mount the remote file systems that you want to access, or issue the following commands from the superuser prompt (#):

# /sbin/init.d/nfs start
# mount −a −t nfs

FILES

/etc/exports
/etc/fstab
/etc/rc.config
