Ubuntu nfs gui tool problem
 I installed nfs gui tools in Ubuntu.
I thought the graphical configuration would be pretty easy but then it is getting really confusing.
I need the configuration please this is urgent.

Hi Samantha.preety, this is not a hard task considering the software's can easily be found in the I.T system websites.
What you need to do is to go to the control panel and install the following packages;
#apt-get-install nfs kernel-server The real directories will be mounted with a –bind option.
#mkdir -p/export/users This is created in the home directories.
The export users will need to be accessed without the authentication files such as LDAP/NIS. The real users directory will then be mounted with the following;
#mount–bind /home/users/export /users
/home /users /export/users none bind 0  0
line to/etc/ fstab To save from retyping after every reboot
Input configuration files that relate to an NFS server;
In etc/default/nfs kernel server;
NEED_SVCGSSD no #
In/etc/default/nfs_common;
NEED_IDMAPD=yes
NEED_GSSD=no # default
In order for id names to be automatically mapped, the file should have some lines in the mapping section;
[Mapping]
Nobody_User=nobody
Nobody-Group=nogroup
Install the NFS server;
sudo apt-get install rpcbind nfs-kernel-server
Shares
Edit/etc/exports
/home/myclients/rw,sync,no_subtree_check
Apply these to all clients;
/home/192.168.0.10/255.255.255.0
/usr/local/192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
after setting up exports;
sudo exportfs -ra
Restart services
sudo/etc/init .d/portmap.restart
sudo/etc/init.d/nfs_kernel_sever_restart
Once you restart the server after these files, it should work well.
Thanks
