mounting a remote drive

[Hamilton Andrew]

Yes.  You can use nfs.  The port number is 2049, I think.  You'll have to
run the nfs server on the host with the drive and then you'll need to export
the file system via exportfs.  You can do a man of exportfs to get the
syntax.  You should also do a man nfsd.  You can actually have it listen on
any port you want if you run it yourself.  Don't run it as root.  That would
be insecure.  The two manpages I mentioned will also lead you to some
interesting reading on the subject.

Subject: mounting a remote drive


I am not sure if this is possible or not, but I am hoping that it is.  I am 
running a local Redhat Linux 3.x server and have a *nix based remote server 
that has Samba setup on it.  Is there a way to mount the remote drive to 
the local server?  If so, can you lead me to the right directions for doing 
this?  The remote server is behind a firewall, so if it is possible, I 
would also need to know the ports to open up on the firewall to allow me in.

Thanks in Advance
Steve
