Appendix b: sample scripts and files

For the PXE server

This section includes sample configuration files as a reference for the PXE server examples provided
throughout the HOWTO.

NFS configuration file

A typical NFS configuration file, /etc/exports, is similar to the following.
/var/ftp/pub *(ro,insecure,sync,all_squash)
To start the NFS server at the next boot, type the following lines at the command prompt:
chkconfig --level 345 nfs on
chkconfig --level 345 nfslock on
chkconfig --level 345 portmap on
To start the services now instead of rebooting, type the following lines at the command prompt:
service nfs start
service nfslock start
service portmap start

syslinux.cfg files

Four sample syslinux.cfg files are provided in this section.
