Mounting a directory

Hi all,

I want to know how can i make directory mount by other users. for ex:
i have /home/exper/shared in 192.168.254.4

and i want a user on another machine mount 192.168.254.4:/home/exper/shared /shared on the new machime that is 192.168.254.5

Also i have started the nfs server on 192.168.254.5
So what is the next step to be followed.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Mounting a directory

You need to run the nfs server on 192.168.254.4 - that's the server, .5 is the client. Read the NFS wiki page for more details.

Re: Mounting a directory

As I suggested earlier, read the wiki page. If you follow it, you will get it working.

If you want additional detail, try the official NFS Howto.
