nfs

Enables Win 95/NT users to easily access file and printer resources across the UNIX network as if they are local. Features included are NFS client, NFS Printer, FTP client & server, LPD/LPR, VT420/320/220 terminal emulation, Remote Backup, RSH and more.

NFSManager is a small tool for easy access to the NFS features of Mac OS X. As an operating system with a Unix core, Mac OS X is able to support the Network File System (NFS) protocol according to internet specification RFC 1094. NFS is the accepted industry standard for sharing files between Unix systems.

Although NFS is a built-in component of Mac OS X, users cannot access this feature without special knowledge and use of the command-line.

NFSManager will solve this problem by providing an easy-to-use Aqua interface for the definition of NFS connections.

Whats New in This Release:

· By user request, a feature was added to export NFS definitions not only in binary format, but also as readable, editable text files. NFS Manager can optionally save configuration entries as Mac OS X property lists in XML format.
· Many small changes in the user interface, especially some error messages and their explanations have been clarified.
· The reference manual was revised.

Linux NFS Utilities are NFS utilities for Linux NFS clients and servers.

Here are some key features of "Linux NFS Utilities":

· NFS Versions 2, 3, and 4 are supported on 2.6 and later kernels.
· NFS over UDP and TCP on IPv4 are supported on the latest 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
· Linux NFS clients and servers have been tested against many non-Linux implementations.
· Since version 1.0.1 of the NFS utilities tarball has changed the server export default to "sync", then, if no behavior is specified in the export list (thus assuming the default behavior), a warning will be generated at export time.
· If you plan to deploy NFS extensively, consider subscribing to one of these mailing lists: NFS Mailing List, or the AutoFS Mailing List. Before reporting problems, you should search for similar issues in the searchable mail archive. Another searchable archive for NFS, supported by Google, is here. The searchable mail archive for AutoFS is here.
· A useful set of generic NFS references includes the following:
· - "NFS Illustrated," by Brent Callaghan; Addison-Wesley, 2000.
· - "Managing NFS and NIS, 2nd edition," by Hal Stern, Mike Eisler, Ricardo Labiaga; OReilly, 2001.
· - "Linux NFS and Automounter Administration," by Erez Zadok; Sybex, 2001.
· - "Using the Linux NFS Client with Network Appliance Filers," by Charles Lever; Netapp TR-3183, 2004.
· - "Mike Eislers NFS blog."
· - "Eric Kustarzs blog."
· - "NFS version 4 home page."
· - Finally, the "linux.org online library" has many references.

Quick setup client guide

1. Acquire and install a recent distribution of Linux.
2. Set up your /etc/exports file (man exports for details).
3. Consult your distributions documentation to determine which /etc/init.d start-up script is used to start your server. Start NFS services by invoking this script as root, using the "start" parameter. Consider adding this script to the list of scripts that are automatically run at system start-up. (Red Hat uses the chkconfig command for this purpose).
4. Read the NFS How-To for advice on tuning and securing your server.

Quick Client Setup Guide

1. Acquire and install a recent distribution of Linux. To enable NLM lock recovery, ensure your clients host name, as returned by uname -n, matches the host name returned by DNS.
2. The NLM protocol is handled by an in-kernel service in modern kernels, but the user-level rpc.statd program must be running to enable NLM lock recovery. Consult your distributions documentation to determine which /etc/init.d start-up script is used to start it. Start the NSM daemon by invoking this script as root, using the "start" parameter. Consider adding this script to the list of scripts that are automatically run at system start-up. (Red Hat uses the chkconfig command for this purpose).
3. Create the directories on your client where you will mount the NFS shares.
4. Add entries in /etc/fstab corresponding to your mount points (man nfs for details).
5. Use mount -a -t nfs to mount the NFS shares.
6. During system boot-up, most distributions automatically mount NFS shares that are listed in /etc/fstab. If yours doesnt, check your distributions documentation for instructions on how to configure your client to do this.

Whats New in This Release:

· The "mount.nfs" command was added, since the nfs mount functionality is being migrated from util-linux to nfs-utils.
· Substantial changes to were made statd. Various pieces of old code were removed.
· Lots of bugfixes and improvements were made.

SSC DiskAccess NFS Client description
NFS Windows Client for Windows users to access Unix NFS servers DiskAccess is Premier NFS Windows Client which enables Windows 9x/NT/2000/2003/XP systems to perform as NFS clients, so that you will be able to access file and print resources located on UNIX servers, mainframes, or other NFS-based server systems. In todays multi-vendor working environments, NFS (Network File System) support is essential. We understands the need to share data between Windows and UNIX systems. DiskAccess Solutions were developed to meet the demanding needs of the corporate user.

If you need to integrate Microsoft Windows 95/98 or Windows NT/2000/2003 systems into multivendor networks and access file and print resources on UNIX and mainframe hosts, then you need DiskAccess. DiskAccess is NFS client for the Windows environment. DiskAccess gives Windows users network-based access to NFS-based file and print resources.

With DiskAccess you can browse NFS file systems without committing a drive letter, accessing network resources only when you need them. Or you can have the option of establishing a full-time link to your server. Browsed connections are mounted and unmounted automatically, and frequently accessed NFS folders or files can be added as a short-cut to the desktop. This approach makes accessing resources easier, reduces NFS server load, and improves overall network performance.

NFS Backup System is a Perl script that backup system for NFS. The basic function nfsbu is an automated perl-script backup system between an NFS server and an NFS client.

Either by crontab or manual execution, directories listed in the configuration file can be backed up to a directory mounted on the NFS server. In turn, the NFS server uses the client-side script of nsbu (nfsbuc.pl) to move the data from the temporary NFS mount directory to their final places (also specified in the configuration file).

I created this script having been learning Perl for maybe 2 weeks and progressing not much further than page 12 of Programming Perl by Larry Wall and Randal L. Shwartz. Hence you may consider the code badly written, but a quote from the book Id like to include is "a Perl script is correct if its halfway readable and gets the job done before your boss fires you". So I take no blame for the code, Ive commented my code and it worked for me and I make no promises it will work for you.

With regards to licencing, I guess its not really worthy of the full 9 yards, but lets have the happy code hacker ethic of open source development. I.e. something of somewhat basic GPL licence terms and conditions. You may feel inclined to modify the code, in such case if you do, please e-mail me the changes and include the modified code. If youd like to redistribute it with your modifications, please include my name and the original code.

Here are some key features of "NFS Backup System":

· multiple directory backup, with alternative destination directories
· directories are simply listed in a file with their respective destinations
· thorough error checking, if any errors occur e-mail will be sent to the administrator
· checks the status of the NFS server and mountd to prevent any hang-ups from a dead NFS server which is common
