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 Conguration 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, “Conguring 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,
