Re: [Evolution] NFS Mounted at Home Partial Fix!

[Corvette Hunt <corvettehunt yahoo com>]

On my server, I have set up the different users, say
user Larry, Curly and Moe, and I have the following in
the exports file.

/etc/exports:

/home/larry/
*(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure,no_root_squash)

/home/curly/ *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)

/home/moe/ *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,insecure)


On the client side, I've created the same users,
Larry, Curly and Moe, also with the same UID (just to
avoid confussion). My fstab there reads:


/etc/fstab:

192.168.1.200:/home/larry   /home/larry  nfs  defaults
0 0
192.168.1.200:/home/curly   /home/curly  nfs  defaults
0 0
192.168.1.200:/home/moe   /home/moe  nfs  defaults 0 0


Hope this clarifies the setup.
