36.1 Importing File Systems with YaST

Users authorized to do so can mount NFS directories from an NFS server into their own file trees. This can be achieved most easily using the YaST module NFS Client. Just enter the hostname of the NFS server, the directory to import, and the mount point at which to mount this directory locally. All this is done after Add is clicked in the first dialog. Click Open Port in Firewall to open the firewall to allow access to the service from remote computers. The firewall status is displayed next to the check box. Clicking OK saves your changes. See Figure 36-1.
