0) Make ABSOLUTELY certain the numeric uids match (ie if you have a user with a uid of 500 on one system, the same userid should have uid 500 on the other system) on both systems and enable NFS Server function (use yast as the simplest method). Enable NFS client function on system2.
For the rest of the example, I'll use system1 and system2. system1 is the machine with the dir you want to share. 1) Update /etc/exports on system1 to reflect the filesystem and/or directory you want to make available. 2) Run exportfs -a on system1 to activate the changes in /etc/exports 3) On system2, make a mount point using mkdir (I usually use /net or /net/<system> where <system> is the source). 4) mount system1:/linux2003/ibmtools /net/system1 Your files are available on system2 in /net/system1. If you need them somewhere else, mount it there, or use a soft symlink to where it needs to be from the mountpoint. YaST has a menu-driven way to do this, but this is what's happening behind the scenes. -- db David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates > -----Original Message----- > From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Rich Smrcina > Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 2:27 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: linux seeing windows files and...linux 2 linux > > > I think there was a recent thread on this.
