21.10.3 Exporting File Systems with YaST
With YaST, turn a host in your network into an NFS server — a server that
exports directories and files to all hosts granted access to it. This could be
done to provide applications to all coworkers of a group without installing
them locally on each and every host. To install such a server, start YaST and
select ‘Network Services’ ➝ ‘NFS Server’ (see Figure 21.37).
Figure 21.37: NFS Server Configuration Tool
Next, activate ‘Start NFS Server’ and click ‘Next’. In the upper text field,
enter the directories to export. Below, enter the hosts that should have ac-
cess to them. This dialog is shown in Figure 21.38 on the next page. There
are four options that can be set for each host: single host, netgroups,
wildcards, and IP networks. A more thorough explanation of these
options is provided by man exports. ‘Exit’ completes the configuration.
