The NFS client software enables client users to access file systems made available by an NFS server. These files and directories physically reside on the remote (server) host but appear to the client as if they were on the local system. For example, any files accessed by an OpenVMS client - even a UNIX file - appear to be OpenVMS files and have typical OpenVMS file names. Configuring and managing the NFS client on your OpenVMS host involves the following tasks: o Configuring the NFS client using TCPIP$CONFIG o Registering users in the proxy database o Mounting (attaching) remote files and directories exported by the NFS server
