Adding reminder to reboot VMs after running nfs script on them.
* Add a new user to your '''host''' with the same name as the one you created on '''vm3''' in lab 4b, but use a different password.
* Download and run the [http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~peter.callaghan/files/OPS335/nfs.bash nfs.bash] script on each of your machines. This will make your '''host''' an nfs server sharing the home directories held there with the vms. It will also make the vms automatically try to mount the home directories held on '''host''' into their own filesystem as soon as they boot. reboot the VMs now and make sure this is working before continuing.
* An NIS server is used to synchronize system files and other information between machines in an NIS domain.
* In this lab you will set your '''host''' as an NIS server and share user information (names, groups, and passwords) with your VM's.
