1) Put an entry in /etc/exports in the following format, as in this example:

/usr/local <server1>(ro)
/home <server2>(rw)

2) If you need, you can configure /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to make your NFS access more secure.

3) Restart NFS service with command service nfsd restart.

You are all set.

I am a new user, so I cannot post URL in my reply for some more time.

Anyways, under ARTICLES (in this Linux Forum) , you will find the article " Setup Network File Sharing Server in RedHat Linux" . That should be good.

Its pretty simple and a cake walk.

I think the link you want is this one.

Before you start, you'll need to be certain that you have the various nfs packages installed, that'll probably be 'nfs-utils' and 'system-config-nfs'.
