   15: This file describes issues associated with accessing a LON-CAPA machine through
   16: NFS.  This allows UNIX-type machines (as well as other machines) to mount portions
   17: of the LON-CAPA machine as file space (useful for an instructor).

   22: NFS & LON-CAPA INCOMPLETE HOWTO
   23: (Scott Harrison, September 16, 2000)
   24: taken in part from
   25: http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/NFS-Tips/NFS-Tips.html
   26: 
   27: Ok, this was my first time playing around with NFS
   28: (well I did 4 years ago back when I had "free time"
   29: but that's a whole 'nother story).  So please correct
   30: me if I say something stupid.
   31: 
   32: all that needs to be done to implement
   33: nfs appears to be
   34: 
   35: * install portmap and nfs-utils RPMs
   36: nfs-utils-0.1.9.1-1
   37: portmap-4.0-19
   38: 
   39: * configure /etc/exports
   40: /home/profname       example.lite.msu.edu(rw,all_squash,anonuid=501,anongid=501)
   41: (if you don't reboot the system, then of course
   42: /etc/rc.d/init.d portmap stop
   43: /etc/rc.d/init.d nfs stop
   44: /etc/rc.d/init.d portmap start
   45: /etc/rc.d/init.d nfs start
   46: )
   47: 
   48: The real question is:
   49: 
   50: how do we plan to configure /etc/exports
   51: 
   52: options
   53: 1. NIS/YP????????????
   54: 2. have a web interface that enables connection from a given machine
   55:        exportfs -o
   56: async,rw,all_squash,anonuid=CORRECTUID4PROF,anongid=CORRECTGID4PROF
   57: zaphod.lite.msu.edu:/home/PROFNAME
   58: ??????????
   59: 
   60: should this exportfs "time-out" after an hour, or after
   61: the instructor logs out, or is unmounted?
   62: 
   63: Or are all my questions crazy?
   64: 
   65: 3. telnet to a port where password is typed in to enable NFS export
