Hi all,

Just a bit confused by the NFS tutorial, specifically the client config. I've followed the server setup and all seems well with my permanently mounted /export/MP3s folder.
Then, in the 'How to configure NFS client' section, the tutorial says 'Before we use Webmin to configure the client...' - the thing is, I'm only using Webmin to configure my server, not my client (Kubuntu laptop), which I'm configuring directly, hence my confusion!
Is it simply the case that I should be installing/configuring nfs-common, etc. on my server, rather than my laptop?
Thanks.
Mark

Hi Mark,

First off, apologies if I've caused confusion, I'll go over that guide and try and make it clearer.

So, on your kubuntu desktop carry out the following steps:



You need to edit the following 3 lines:

NEED_STATD=
NEED_IDMAPD=
NEED_GSSD=

So, press the [Insert] key once (to go into "edit" mode) and then change these lines as follows:

NEED_STATD=no
NEED_IDMAPD=yes
NEED_GSSD=no

Once you've done that press the [Esc] key once and type the following:



You should now reboot your desktop to make those changes active:



then go to the Editing the config files directly section and carry out those steps on your desktop too.

Hope this helps.

Ian.
