Hello all!
I am looking to see if anyone has any good links or references on learning how to configure NFS, create NFS Shares, and mounting NFS shares. This is for any version of Unix.

Thanks in advance,

I'm sure if you Googled for it you would find heaps of references.

But on Solaris share -F nfs /shared_dir on the NFS server, and mount nfsserver:/shared_dir /mntdir on the client should get you started. Put the share command in /etc/dfs/dfstab to make it permanent. Ready man mount_nfs and man share for the security and timeout related options, etc.

On some OSs you use exportfs instead of share.

Then you can progress to cached NFS which is good for heavily accessed read-only shares. Most of what you need should be in the OS documentation itself.

Annihilannic.
