No problem. Keep in mind that NFS is amazingly insecure and should only be used on internal trusted networks. I personally would not use it outside a protected lan, but if you feel inclined to do so, you're going to want to limit traffic to specific machines etc and take other precautions based on the risk involved with nfs.
Jim,
Thanks again for the additional information. Currently this is for a small internal network only. The entire network (and the systems inside of it) are all behind a firewall from the outside. I am also currently limiting the nfs export to a specific machine in my /etc/exports file.
Eventually, I will be trying to do nfs over ssh for a little more security, and if I want to take this to an outside network. I will also look into limiting access by subnet and/or machine addresses.
Thanks again for the info. -- Doug
