[ILUG] NFS question ...

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for all the help on recent questions I've had. But as they say, the more you know, the more you realise how little you know :-)

I think I mentioned this problem before, I'm trying to sort an NFS issue between linux (2.2.16) and Solaris 7. There seems to be a problem with the different versions of NFS, so I at domain m trying to upgrade NFS on linux.

Now, as I understand it, there are 2 ways of implementing NFS (sharing directories from a linux box) with linux, via the kernel or via a "user-space" NFS daemon. I also read that the kernel method is the preferred one. I also read that kernel version >= 2.2.19 is required for the latest version os NFS.

I'm trying to see if I have everything,
* compile new kernel(2.2.19), with NFS Server Support
* compile and install nfs-utils-0.3.1
* run nfsd

The machine I at domain m doing this on is being used during the day, so I need to do this after hours and I just want to make sure I have all I need. Anyone see any problem with this?
