Share Access from MAC and Linux Systems A-7

Accessing Shares from Linux/Unix
To access this share from a Linux or Unix client where backup is the share name, you will need to
mount the share over NFS by entering: mount <ipaddr>:/<backup /backup>
Running the ls command in the mounted path displays the share content.
Refer to Appendix A, “Share Access from MAC and Linux Systems for instructions on accessing
shares from various versions of the MAC OS.

Note: The ReadyNAS does not support NIS as it is unable to correlate NIS information
with CIFS logins. In mixed environments where you want CIFS and NFS
integration, you can set the security to User mode and manually specify the UID
and GID of the user and group accounts to match your NIS or other Linux/Unix
server settings. The ReadyNAS can import a comma-delimited file containing the
user and group information to coordinate Linux/Unix login settings.
