Overview

This discusses the required configuration of Mac OS X to enable it to work as an NFS (Network File System) server.

Note that this tutorial is only about the client version of Mac OS X. Instructions for the server version are different. However, this page is about configuring OS X to act as an NFS server (eg, it will export filesystems to other machines). This does not deal with the configuration of OS X as an NFS client (to mount filesystems exported from other machines), but have a look at the link at the end of the page if you need to do that.

Also please note that these instructions apply to version 10.4 (Tiger) of Apple Mac OS X and may not apply to earlier (or future) versions.
