Why are you trying to setup NFS access on your mac? NFS can be very, very useful but depending how much you trust your room-mate and anyone else who might have access to your network, NFS may not be a suitable protocol to use if you have data that you do not want others accessing as it is more difficult to secure shares that way vs CIFS and AFP. You may wish to reflect on this.
There are two reasons; one is that the NFS share should only share the Media folder to everyone on the network (which has a very strong password and mac-address filtering for access :) ) so movies and music can be shared throughout the house without setting up a useraccount for everyone. The second reason is quite simpel; i just want to know how it works and what the possibilities are :)
Thanks again :)
