Anders. This is the procedure I use to start NFS on Mandrake 9.0 (or 8.2) First install nfs-utils RPM, then 1/ Define the /etc/exports file 2/ exportfs -ra 3/ On client machine open Mandrake Control Centre>MountPoints>NFSMount Points (any required RPMS get automatically installed) 4/Press 'Search servers' button. Select the required server, click on '+' to see shares available. 5/ Press Mount Point button, select a mount point (It will be created for you) 6/Press Options button, select any required options (I normally select 'user' and 'noauto') 7/ Press 'Mount' button Thats it done.. when the GUI exits it writes the /etc/fstab file for you. Subsequently I use kwikdisk to mount/unmount the shares whenever I need them. (In kdeutils RPM), or usermount ( in usermode RPM) Note: netfs, nfs and nfslock services should be running derek
