Mac OSX, born as BSD Unix, still has an NFS server included even in the workstation editions.
To enable NFS sharing, follow that very simple procedure:
- edit the /etc/exports file (do « man 5 exports » for more info)
- run « sudo nfsd update »
- check the exported directories with « showmount -e »
And voilà ! That’s it…
Sample /etc/exports:
/Users -alldirs -rw -mapall=501:501
Equivalent « showmount -e » output:
Exports list on localhost:/Users Everyone
