Create an NFS share for group collaboration

“

[Instructor] For this exercise, we'll create an NFS share for group collaboration. Make sure you're logged into your rhhost1 VM and have a terminal open. Due to the length of this exercise, I'll be rather brief in each step. For more detailed information, refer to the previous videos in this course. Let's start this exercise by creating a new directory to export. In a terminal, type in sudo space mkdir space /home/groupshare and hit enter. Type in your password if prompted. Let's also create a new user called user2. Type in sudo space useradd space user2 and hit enter. Let's take note of our user IDs by viewing the etc password file. Type in cat space /etc/passwd and hit enter. We can see that the user ID for user1 is 1000 and the user ID for user2 is 1001. Remember this. It will be important later. Now, let's create a group for collaboration and place both users in it. We're going to specify the group ID so that it doesn't mess up the order of new users headed to the system later…
