Each group of users works on sets of clients that need different file systems from
the TULAB server. Each group of users has differentpermissions and authorities
and will pose a challenge to establishing a safe, secure NFS namespace.
Chris Admin will encounter common problems that administrators of NFS
namespaces face every day. ChrisAdmin will also work through some uncommon
and unique NFS situations. As this book describes each command and parameter,
Chris Admin will give a corresponding example from TULAB.As this book explains
applications of NFS, Chris Admin will show exactly how he configures NFS for
TULAB.
The network namespace of TULAB is complex and involves two NFS server
systems:
1. TULAB1 — A UNIX server system
2. TULAB2 — An AS/400 server system
The following figure describes the layout of the TULAB namespace.
