Exactly. I started by using NFS Manager which give you all of the options in
one nice GUI, then ended up just entering the data using Netinfo Manager
manually. I think if I where to roll out NFS network wide I would do it with
rsh though:
mounts
{
"name" = ( "mounts" );
CHILDREN = (
{
"opts" = ( "-P" );
"name" = ( "hostname:/home" );
"type" = ( "nfs" );
"dir" = ( "/hostname" );
}
)
}
niload -r /mounts . < mounts_table
etc..
It seems that this way doesn't interfere with the other things in /Volumes
Of course it would be nice to stop using /Volumes but thats another thing.
