NFS Manager 3.5

NFSManager is a small tool for easy access to the NFS features of Mac OS X. As an operating system with a Unix core, Mac OS X is able to support the Network File System (NFS) protocol according to internet specification RFC 1094. NFS is the accepted industry standard for sharing files between Unix systems.

Although NFS is a built-in component of Mac OS X, users cannot access this feature without special knowledge and use of the command-line. NFSManager solves this problem by providing an easy-to-use Aqua interface for the definition of NFS connections.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 3.5:

• Added a new option for NFS mounts on Snow Leopard to enforce display of the mounts in the Finder. This can be used as a workaround for the undocumented policy of Apple\'s automounter to always hide NFS automounts in Mac OS X 10.6.
  
• The user interface and the reference manual now better differentiate between NFS browsing policies in the original NFS implementation by SUN, and NFS browsing as implemented by Apple.
  
• The program now saves the previous NFS share definition to a backup file when repairing the NFS server setup by cleaning the configuration.
  
• This version updates the security component to perform privileged configuration tasks.
  
• Corrected a problem where an active ‘deadtimeout’ mount option did not become visible when displaying the current automount setup.
  
• Corrected a problem where blanks at certain positions in the NFS configuration file could cause NFS Manager to ignore specific or all NFS settings of the local computer.
