NFS Unix gurus
Guys,
Basically I have 2 pretty much identical servers in 2 different locations.
Exact same version of unix is installed on both.
Basically I need both these servers to be able to see a specific folder on each.
I think I need to setup NFS - but boy oh boy it does appear to be somewhat complicated.
Any help or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Shaun

Something along the lines of...
Source machine to share from - share -F nfs -o rw /path/to/directory
Machine to mount share - mount -F nfs share_server:/path/to/directory /local_mount
If you want to automatically share/mount at boot then you will need to add entries to /etc/dfs/dfstab and /etc/vfstab (these could be different depending on UNIX type).
You may need to install NFS packages, but they should be there on most UNIXes.

Alternatively you could use GPFS (General Parallel Filesystem). But it may cost money.
Other options would be SAMBA, a free piece of software from bullfreeware.com

Thanks.
Its SCO Openserver 6.
I've done everything correctly from what I can tell, but I must be encountering some sort of security issues.
I type "share" on server A and it tells me
/logic/data -anon=-2,ro "#"
On remote machine (scosvr exists in /etc/hosts)
mount -F nfs -o ro,soft scosvr:/logic/data /logic/share
It just tells me
UX:nfs mount: ERROR: scosvr:/logic/data: server not responding for clnt_create:
RPC: Unable to receive
The SAMBA comment - as far as I was aware samba just lets unix machines be use in the windows world without any hassle.

The command on sco is exports. Syntax for openserver 5.0.7 is here. You can use samba to expose shares on unix and I believe the mount option in openserver 6 can use them. I'd give it a go with NFS first.
