Part IV Working with an NFS Server

Have two Linux systems available that are connected on a local network. One of those Linux systems will act as an NFS server while the other will be an NFS client.

On the Linux system you want to use as an NFS server, install the packages needed to configure an NFS service. {Enter the command used}

On the NFS server, list the documentation files that come in the package that provides the NFS server software. {Screen capture}

On the NFS server, determine the name of the NFS service and start it. {Screen capture}

On the NFS server, check the status of the NFS service you just started. {Enter the command used}

On the NFS server, create the /var/mystuff directory and share it from your NFS server with the following attributes: available to everyone, read-only, and the root user on the client has root access to the share. {Screen capture}

On the NFS server, make sure the share you created is accessible to all hosts by opening TCP wrappers, iptables, and SELinux. {Screen capture}

On a second Linux system (NFS client), view the shares available from the NFS server. (If you don't have a second system, you can do this from the same system.) If you do not see the shared NFS directory, go back to the previous question and try again. {Screen capture}

On the NFS client, create a directory called /var/remote and temporarily mount the /var/mystuff directory from the NFS server on that mount point. {Screen capture}

On the NFS client, unmount /var/remote, add an entry so that the same mount is done automatically when you reboot (with a bg mount option), and test that the entry you created is working properly. copy some files to the /var/mystuff directory, type the following on the NFS server {Screen capture}

Copy some files to the /var/mystuff directory from the NFS server. copy some files to the /var/mystuff directory, type the following on the NFS server. {Screen capture}
