This is how I do this: |
| 21 |
** (On server) |
| 22 |
~ $ cat /etc/exports |
| 23 |
/usr/portage |
| 24 |
*(rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=250,anongid=250,no_subtree_check) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
~ $ id portage |
| 27 |
uid=250(portage) gid=250(portage) groups=250(portage) |
| 28 |
** |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
** (On client) |
| 31 |
~ $ cat /etc/fstab |
| 32 |
server:/usr/portage /usr/portage nfs |
| 33 |
tcp,nodev,nosuid 0 0 |
| 34 |
** |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I stripped non-related parts from the above and the "exports" and "fstab" |
| 37 |
lines should be on a single line. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
The bit in the exports-file will force all access to "/usr/portage" to be |
| 40 |
linked to the uid and gid of portage. (Change the values if your portage-user |
| 41 |
has a different uid and/or gid) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I have also opened it to all servers (the * at the beginning of the line) with |
| 44 |
a firewall limiting access. |

Or simply busy? :) |

Hope this helps, |
