Adding or modifying share configuration

In the Filesystem Manager, select Share NFS Add Share Configuration or Share NFS Modify Share Configuration.

1. If you are adding a new configuration, choose a directory to grant permissions for, either by entering its name or by using the Select button to bring up the directory selection dialog.

2. Use the ``Read-only Clients'' and ``Read-write Clients'' fields to specify the systems that are allowed read-only and read-write access: All systems, Selected systems, or None.

   If you choose Selected systems, press Select and:

   • Add clients to the share list by pressing Add Clients. Enter one or more client or netgroup names or select them from the list shown when you press Select.

   • Remove clients from the export list by highlighting them from the list and pressing Remove clients.

   • Add or remove root privileges by highlighting a client name and pressing Add root privilege or Remove root privilege.

   Click on OK when finished modifying the selected clients.

3. You can access these options clicking on Advanced Options:

   
   Writes to filesystem

   Select Synchronous if you want processes to wait until writes have been serviced - otherwise use Asynchronous.

   
   Secure authentication

   If Yes, clients must use the AUTH_DES authentication of RPC. If No, AUTH_UNIX authentication is the default. See ``Secure RPC overview'' for more information.

   
   Anonymous Access

   Select Allowed if you wish to permit access from unidentified systems.

   
   Anonymous User ID

   Enter the user ID you wish to have associated with anonymous access.

4. Click on OK to save the configuration.
