Administering NFS
To set up NFS clients and servers, you must start the NFS daemons on the servers, export filesystems from the NFS servers, and mount the filesystems on the clients. The /etc/exports file is the NFS server configuration file; it controls which files and directories are exported and which kinds of access are allowed. Names and addresses for clients that should be allowed or denied access to NFS are kept in the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files.
