That would be great.... Unfortunately, my installation
of YDL 3.0 does not have "NFS Server" in the menu. :-(
Is there something else I need to install? I would
love to deal with all this through a GUI (due to my
Macintosh child within).

I did, however, see Menu > Server Settings > Services,
that allowed me (after validating my root password) to
activate the nfs server via a checkbox (odd -- I
thought I had already activated it manually). Maybe
that is a step in the right direction.

Again, I do not have time to play with this until
later. I would not be surprised if nfs sharing starts
working after I revisit it for just a few minutes.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice and help!

Best wishes,
Clint
