Name

nfssetup − set up the network file system (NFS)

Syntax

/etc/nfssetup

Description

The nfssetup command is an interactive facility that allows you to set up or modify NFS on your system. A local area network must be set up on your system before you can set up NFS.

The nfssetup command allows you to either enable or disable the NFS locking service. In addition, the nfssetup command appends entries to the /etc/exports and /etc/fstab files.

Note

To remove entries from the /etc/exports or /etc/fstab you must edit them by hand. The nfssetup command only appends entries to these files.

You can run nfssetup while the system is in multiuser mode. To run nfssetup, type the following and then answer the questions:

# /etc/nfssetup

When nfssetup has completed, reboot the system.

If you use dms to set up your system as a diskless server before running nfssetup, dms will automatically call the nfssetup utility to set up a default NFS server environment.

Files

/etc/exports
/etc/fstab
/etc/rc.local
