b. Run the nfs.server script:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

Step 3. Edit /etc/exports, adding an entry for each directory that is to be

exported. The entry identiﬁes the directory and (optionally) the systems

that can import it. The entry should look something like this:

/opt/netscape

async,anon=65534,access=wsb2600:appserver:wsb2600:wszx6

NOTE If no systems are speciﬁed for a particular ﬁle system, then all systems

have permission to import the ﬁle system; if any systems are listed, then

only those systems can import the ﬁle system.

See exports (4) for more information.

Step 4. Force the NFS daemon (nfsd) to re-read /etc/exports.

/usr/sbin/exportfs -a

Importing a File System (HP-UX to HP-UX)

Before you begin, you need to:

• Check that the directory you are importing to either:

— Does not already exist on the local (client) system; or

— Is empty; or

— Contains data that will not be needed so long as the remote

directory is mounted.

In this case, make sure that no one has open ﬁles in the local

directory and that it is not anyone’s current working directory.

For example, if you intend to import to a directory named

/mydir, on the client, enter:

fuser -cu /mydir
