Installing a NFS server, and creating a mountpoint, in 30 seconds

This on RHEL/CentOS. For lazyness simplicity I install client and server on the same box :o) whose IP is 10.0.2.15

Installing a NFS server:
http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-an-nfs-server-and-client-on-centos-5.5

yum install nfs-utils nfs-utils-lib
chkconfig --levels 235 nfs on
/etc/init.d/nfs start

mkdir /var/nfs
chmod 777 /var/nfs
vi /etc/exports
/var/nfs        10.0.2.15(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

exportfs -a

Creating a mountpoint
mkdir /home/users
mount -t nfs 10.0.2.15:/var/nfs /home/users
echo ciao > /home/users/ciao.txt
cat /var/nfs/ciao.txt
ciao

done :o)
