I recently reactivated my backup Mac Mini as a server; for convenience, I installed the OS X Server package.

After fiddling a bit with the interface, I decided I actually need only two services, the File Sharing and Mail.

File sharing configuration.

The file sharing configuration is straightforward. Given the very consumerist direction Apple is heading, I wasn’t very surprised to discover it does not provide any support for NFS (needed to access the calibre library, see the How to use calibre with a network drive? With NFS! post).

Fortunately, the NFS server configuration is not very complicated, and can be set by editing one single file, /etc/exports.

In a terminal, invoke an editor:

and add a line like:

Since Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) doesn't offer anymore to mount NFS shares from Disk Utility, manual mount is the only solution under that version. Here is a Terminal command that permits to mount NFS share without problems, as some arguments are mandatory to.

1. Although Need for Speed: Carbon is essentially the same version as the PC game “wrapped” in technology to make it work on the Mac, there is one element missing that you will find in the PC.
2. The NFS client in OS X seems hard-coded to use DES3-CBC-SHA1 when not using weak crypto. 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 client against AD. In order to get the Mac to do Kerberized NFS against AD, you have to enable DES support: In AD (GPO in 2008 AD, and on the account in both 2003 and 2008 AD) On the Mac, via krb5.conf, via enabling weak crypto.

The first path is the folder to export; the optional address restricts access only to this host (more complex expressions are allowed, see the nfsd manual page).

To be sure that regular users cannot read this file, change the mode bits:

To check if the content of the configuration file is valid, use the checkexports command:

To make the NFS daemon start at boot, use:

To check the service status, use:

If necessary to restart the server, a pair of stop/start can be used, or a signal:

To see the NFS mount points, use:

The above configuration seemed to be the kind perform and forget, it worked from the first attempt and did not require further changes.
