Paul, there are pointy-clicky things for OSX to setup NFS exports. /Applications/Utilities/NetInfo Manager Authenticate as an admin, or the button on the bottom of the window that says something like: "click to to make changes" or something similar. Then just follow the directions, the procedure is fairly trivial. If you have the luxury of a reboot, do that. OSX will start the daemons auto-magically. If not... I believe a command prompt and using sudo will do fine. To start the daemons, (I am doing all of this on memory here) sudo /usr/sbin/portmap sudo /sbin/nfsd -t -u -n8 Portmap is needed for most requests, nfsd actually starts the nfs exports the switches are what I have used in the past, "-t" is for tcp, "-u" is for udp and "-n8" is for the number to start out with. mountd is automagically started upon reboot, but is not really needed, as far as I know. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
