The netstd package includes the NFS server you'll need.  You need to
edit /etc/exports to add the definitions of the files you want to
export; see `man exports'.  As an example, I have:

/cdrom  (ro,insecure,all_squash)

on my home network here.  In your case, you might need to uncomment
the PC-NFS server in /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs, but I'm not familiar with
the NFS clients available for PC's.  Run /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs start
after adding the file systems to /etc/exports and you should be up and
running.  You might also need to edit /etc/hosts.allow.

Another solution would be to use Samba.  You should make sure you have
the latest version (off a Debian mirror if it wasn't on the CD -
1.9.17p2 I think), because the older versions have a security hole.
This lets you use the Microsoft Networking Client to access files
and printers on the Linux server via the Notwork Neighbourhood.

NFS on Linux 1.3

1997-12-15 Thread Sergio Simizu
Hi,

We acquired the boot magazine # 15 - 11/97 - and after a successfully
instalation of Linux 1.3 we are trying to map a driver letter for a PC with
Windows 95 and NFS client to reach the file system on Linux server.

Is it possible to do with the base installation of Linux or should I 
have
another kind of product installed ?
