NFS Manager 3.4
NFS Manager is a graphical user interface to control all built-in NFS features of Mac OS X. It can manage a whole network of Mac OS X computers to setup a distributed NFS file system via a few simple mouse clicks.
NFS (Network File System) is the industry standard for file sharing on UNIX systems like Mac OS X. Each Mac OS X system can be setup as an NFS server to offer files to the network, or as an NFS client to access files shared by other computers. Different from other file sharing protocols built into Mac OS X, NFS has no limitations in the number of users or connections concurrently active. In addition, NFS can be setup to connect to servers fully automatically (“automounting”) without any password entries being necessary.
The application is designed to use the latest technologies available in Mac OS X, like Open Directory, Bonjour, or Kerberos. If your network is setup as a Kerberos realm, secure NFS with authenticated and encrypted connections can be configured.
NFS Manager 3 is for Mac OS X Leopard or later only. Previous generations of Mac OS X use a very different implementation of NFS and therefore need a different management tool. If you like to use NFS with legacy systems, please see the pages of NFS Manager 2 for further information.
The software is distributed electronically. You can download the product and test it before you decide to purchase a license for unrestricted usag

Release 3.4 (Build 100730)
- Added new Find panel to search for automount, mount, or share entries.
- Added new menu item to enforce a re-read of NFS configuration data from the operating system or remote directory nodes.
- The automount table has been redesigned to use two separate columns for servers and share paths.
- It is now possible to sort automount entries by server or by share path.
- The tables to inspect active shares offered by NFS servers can now be resized relative to each other.
- Corrected a problem where automount entries could not be saved onto an Open Directory node when they didn't specify any mount options.
- Corrected a user interface problem where warning messages regarding incorrect NFS share definitions could appear at the wrong location.
- Corrected a problem where a misleading warning message about a possible version conflict was recorded in the administrator's system log.
