Mark, On the machine that you want to be the source (as root): edit /etc/exports and add the line: /source_partition destination_system(rw) where source_partition is the file system that you wish to share and destination system is the name of the destination system (as shown in /etc/hosts) or its IP address (192.168.0.whatever). (rw) gives read and write access to the destination system. Then enter the following: chkconfig portmap on chkconfig nfs on /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start On the destination system (as root): chkconfig portmap on chkconfig nfs on chkconfig amd on /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap start /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start /etc/rc.d/init.d/amd start At this point, if you do: cd /net/source_system ls you should see the source_partition. I'm not sure if chkconfig is available on all systems. It is on RH. On a RH system you can also use "sevice nfs start" instead of "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start". The chkconfig lines make these services start on boot so if you only want to do it once don't do that on either system. amd is the automounter daemon. All of this assumes that you have your network cards configured so that each machine can see the other. It's also handy to have the name and IP address of each machine in the /etc/hosts file.
