In response to David Banning <david+dated+1166380924.a0d38f@skytracker.ca>: > I have a FBSD box servering several users. We want to mount a stand-alone > FBSD box to access the files on it. I am thinking NFS. > > When installing NFS, the stand-alone box would be the NFS server, correct? > And multi-user box would be the NFS client? You're question is worded somewhat ambiguously. I'm unclear as to which server is doing what, however: * The server that _has_ the files will be the NFS server. * Any system that accesses those files across the network is an NFS client. Hope that helps. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
