Steps to configure NFS Server in Leopard / OS X 10.5

I hosed the qube so I was looking into exporting a filesystem via NFS on my mac and discovered that Netinfo is gone. Hmm.. thought that might be bad cause I kinda sorta knew how to use it. Nope.. much better. nfs exporting now works like nfs on any other *nix. The following was clipped from http://www.behanna.org/osx/nfs/howto1.html :

  1. Edit /etc/exports: sudo vi /etc/exports Add a line like the following (presuming your home network is using the 192.168 private network. You could also use 172.17 or 10.):

    /Users -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.0.0

  2. Enable nfsd: sudo nfsd enable
  3. Test your work: showmount -e

Thanks to Chris Behanna of http://www.behanna.org/ for the updated info.
