when using NFS the file to be concerned with is /etc/exports and
/etc/hosts
what i do, say your friend's machine is ip 10.10.10.5 i would ad din
/etc/hosts
myfriend 10.10.10.5
then in /etc/exports
/path_that_you_want_him_to_access myfriend(ro,no_root_squash)
i would reccomend keeping it read only (the ro flag) if you must do read
write replace ro with rw. no_root_squash will allow him to mount it and
use it as 'root'. This is what i do, i only use NFS in a very trusted
enviornment. You will have to restart the NFS server for changes to
/etc/exports to take effect. (/etc/init.d/nfs-server restart)
