 * Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no exports.

#we will use the /tmp/nfstestshare directory for our NFS share

mkdir /tmp/nfstestshare

#add it to /etc/exports (basically what NFS checks to determine what to make an NFS share)

/tmp/nfstestshare 192.168.1.5(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

As you can see the brackets take 3 variables as follows:

1. ro (readonly) or rw (readwrite)
2. sync means no changes to the directory until changes are committed
3. no_root_squash allows root to access the directory
