remote computer. You can use NFS to mount all or a portion of a file system. Users can access
the portion mounted with the same privileges as the user's access to each file.
NIS (Network Information System)

among computers on a network.

NMS acts as a central server, requesting and receiving SNMP-type information from any computer
using SNMP.
