NFS is a protocol that is client/server, and is considered not secure for some reason. To mitigate this unsecure way to access data from network, there are some rules that you must specify on /etc/exports. For a simple examples on the server you must have a /etc/exports in which you have to indicate a directory to be exported and some rule that permits clients to access it. Access rule are based on uid used on client at the mount time. If you use root on client (for example) to mount an export, tipically you can't access. Also you must pay attention to some file (hosts.allow and hosts.deny). The first rule you can try to make nfs working is a simple line in exports like that /path/to/be/exported ipclient(ro) and on client side you must mount the export in that way mount ipserver:/path/to/be/exported /where/you/want/to/mount in this case you can access the export in read only. After that (to be sure that nfs in working well) you must read the man page about exports (man exports) to try other config. Pay attention to root_squash and no_root_squash option to make root access not possible on server side. I hope it is clear Bye Ambrogio
