• NFS has been common since 1989.
• UDP, RPC
• IP-based security: weak
• assumptions: UID 501 there == UID 501 here
• /etc/exports contains directories we are sharing
• to access a shared directory on another machine:
  mount -t nfs othermachine:/dirname /mnt/somedir
• umount takes the directory offline.
• permanent entries go in /etc/fstab
• exportfs or service nfs restart to make exported changes effective
• mounting host must be listed in /etc/hosts
