Hi all!
I have set my network, a NFS share, and my NeXTstation and everything works fine
except that I cannot get NFSManger to behave :)
When I mount the NFS share from the command line as:
mount -t nfs CHAMSAE:/media/Archives /Net/ArchivesThe NFS share /Net/Archives is created as expected and I can browse its content (located on CHAMSAE in /media/Archives).
When I use NFSManager, I fill in the same info. and the GIU shows a line like:
CHAMSAE /media/Archives /Net/CHAMSAE/media/ArchivesBut when I double-click on /Net/CHAMSAE, nothing happens except a busy pointer for a while. (I also tried cd into it from the command line, it freezes for a little while and then replies "No such file or directory".)
I read these posts (1 (

I'm not sure if I should modify fstab and what I should put in it because the syntax seems different from that of the mount command line.
Am I missing something with NFSManager? What would be the simplest and safest solution to have the share mounted with every boot?
Thanks in advance!

I used this informative article (

Thanks Nitro! :)
I missed that page! It explains exactly my problem: "On NeXTStep 3.3, the NFSManager.app GUI was not able to successfully mount the share" and suggests to use /etc/rc.local...
Off I go try that ;D
PS. Everything works like a charm using mount in rc.local 8)
Trying to have the NFS server working. I enabled ethernet (twisted pair) and have my home directory as the shared folder. I tried to follow the instructions in filesharing.howto.txt, but it says (quite logically) that the server 'nfs' is not found.
How do I specify the embeded NFS server? I feel that I am missing something obvious there...
