25.4 Exporting File Systems with YaST

With YaST, turn a host in your network into an NFS server—a server that exports di-
rectories and files to all hosts granted access to it. This could be done to provide appli-
cations to all members of a group without installing them locally on each and every

dialog like the one in Figure 25.2, "NFS Server Configuration Tool" (page 351) opens.
