Foil 26 NFS - Network File System

From NPAC Computer and Network Capabilities Tango Group Internal Technology Seminars -- Spring 99. by Roman Markowski
allows directories physically located on one system (file server) to be mounted on another (client)
server must export directories to allow access by clients (/etc/exports, /etc/dfs/dfstab, /etc/exportfs)
client must mount: /etc/vfstab, /etc/fstab
/etc/exports : root=host:... - allow remote superuser (UID=0) access to listed hosts (bad !)
UIDs and GIDs must be consistent between NFS clients and servers to prevent unauthorized access
