This exports the directory /productversion to any host that is part of this net-
work or to any host that can connect to this server. To limit the access to this server,
use netmasks or domain names instead of the general wild card *. Refer to the

To add the NFS service to the list of servers started during system boot, execute the
following commands:
insserv /etc/init.d/nfsserver
4
Start the NFS server with rcnfsserver start. If you need to change the con-
guration of your NFS server later, modify the conguration le and restart the NFS
daemon with rcnfsserver restart.
Announcing the NFS server via OpenSLP makes its address known to all clients in
your network.
1
Log in as root.
2
Create the /etc/slp.reg.d/install.suse.nfs.reg conguration le
with the following lines:
# Register the NFS Installation Server
service:install.suse:nfs://$HOSTNAME/path_to_repository/DVD1,en,65535
description=NFS Repository
Replace path_to_repository with the actual path to the installation source
on your server.
3
Start the OpenSLP daemon with rcslpd start.
For more information about OpenSLP, refer to the package documentation located under
/usr/share/doc/packages/openslp/ or refer to Chapter 14, SLP Services
in the Network (page 283). More Information about NFS, refer to Chapter 18, Sharing
File Systems with NFS (page 331).
2.2.3 Setting Up an FTP Repository Manually
Creating an FTP repository is very similar to creating an NFS repository. An FTP
repository can be announced over the network using OpenSLP as well.
