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

NFS & LON-CAPA INCOMPLETE HOWTO
(Scott Harrison, September 16, 2000)
taken in part from
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/NFS-Tips/NFS-Tips.html

Ok, this was my first time playing around with NFS
(well I did 4 years ago back when I had "free time"
but that's a whole 'nother story).  So please correct
me if I say something stupid.

all that needs to be done to implement
nfs appears to be

* install portmap and nfs-utils RPMs
nfs-utils-0.1.9.1-1
portmap-4.0-19

* configure /etc/exports
/home/profname       example.lite.msu.edu(rw,all_squash,anonuid=501,anongid=501)
(if you don't reboot the system, then of course
/etc/rc.d/init.d portmap stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d nfs stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d portmap start
/etc/rc.d/init.d nfs start
)

The real question is:

how do we plan to configure /etc/exports

options
1. NIS/YP????????????
2. have a web interface that enables connection from a given machine
       exportfs -o
async,rw,all_squash,anonuid=CORRECTUID4PROF,anongid=CORRECTGID4PROF
zaphod.lite.msu.edu:/home/PROFNAME
??????????

should this exportfs "time-out" after an hour, or after
the instructor logs out, or is unmounted?

Or are all my questions crazy?

3. telnet to a port where password is typed in to enable NFS export
