Unix File Sharing

The UNIX file sharing service allows your NetWinder to act as a file server for other UNIX computers using the NFS (Network File System) protocol.

WARNING

Although very popular, the NFS protocol is generally considered insecure. You should think twice before enabling this service.

If you don't have any UNIX or Linux computers on your network, there is no need to enable UNIX File Sharing.

To choose exactly which NetWinder folders will be shared, see the section called File Sharing Configuration under Network Settings.
