Joe,

Not at all.

Either edit the "/etc/exports": file or use SMIT to place the name of the
fs you want to share with the client. Then run "exportfs -a" on the
server.

Now, go to the 'client' where you want to mount the fs. To be sure all is
correct, you can do a "showmount -e <ServerHostName>" to see that it is
exporting the fs you want to the client you are on with the options you
need.

Now, on the client you can run "mount <ServerHostname>:/fs
/some_local_dir_name"

This will mount the fs from the server on the client at that local_dir
location.

Of course the client side can be done with the help of SMIT also. And, you
will either want to put a stanza in the clients "/etc/filesystems" file so
the mount returns after a reboot. Or you can setup an automount.

All this can be read about in the man pages or other docs.

Is it complicated to mount a remote AIX fs?
I'm only familiar with rcp and rsh.
