The following files are modified in some way when installing NFS:
/etc/inittab
/unix
/etc/fstab
/etc exports
The /etc/inittab file must be modified to start the BNET and NFS daemons.
The kernel, /unix, must be recreated to include the NFS modules.
The /etc/fstab file is a list of the local and remote partitions which are to be mounted automatically at boot time.
The file /etc/exports contains a list of the file partition which the server system will allow to be remotely mounted by other systems on the network.
