Any ideas?
Is it possible to share files, attributes and queries by network?

Re: Using netfs

Stippi had this to say when he committed NetFS:

You will want to edit /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/netfs-server before you
run netfs_server for the first time (or use netfs_server_prefs on the command
line, see below).

To run the server:

$ /system/servers/netfs_server &

To run the client:

$ /system/servers/authentication_server &
$ mkdir /network
$ mount -t userlandfs -p "netfs """ /network

A "Network" icon will appear on your desktop. Remote servers will appear inside
the "Network" folder (host name). Inside a folder for a server are the shares
of that server. (I.e. what has been defined as share in that respective server's
netfs-server driver settings file). netfs_server has actually a new settings
file format, you can create settings by using "netfs_server_prefs --help" on the
command line. Have fun!

Hope this helps - I haven't tried it yet myself!
