Operation Manual
28.4 Exporting File Systems with YaST
With YaST, turn a host in your network into an NFS server—a server that exports di-
rectories and les to all hosts granted access to it. This could be done to provide appli-
cations to all members of a group without installing the applications locally on each
and every host. To install such a server, start YaST and select Network Services > NFS
Server; see Figure 28.2, “NFS Server Conguration Tool” (page 469).

Then activate Start and enter the NFSv4 Domain Name.
Click Enable GSS Security if you need secure access to the server. A prerequisite for
this is to have Kerberos installed on your domain and to have both the server and the
clients kerberized. Click Next.
In the upper text eld, enter the directories to export. Below, enter the hosts that should
have access to them. This dialog is shown in Figure 28.3, “Conguring an NFS Server
with YaST” (page 470). The gure shows the scenario where NFSv4 is enabled in the
previous dialog. Bindmount Targets is shown in the right pane. For more details,
