1 Network File System

2 Network Services A Linux system starts some services at boot time and allow other services to be started up when necessary. These services are controlled by processes called daemons. A daemon is a process running in the background which performs some system-related task, whether a network service, or some other service. If all services started up at boot time, even though they might or might not be used, this would take up a lot of system resources. To overcome this problem, the xinetd daemon was created, which listens on the ports of many network services and, upon receiving a connection, starts up the service's corresponding daemon, which runs only until its task is complete.

3 The Internet Daemon xinetd starts at boot time and gets the list of services that it will manage from its configuration file ( /etc/xinetd.conf ). The way it knows which port to listen for each services is from the /etc/services file.

4 xinetd Changes to the xinetd.conf file do not take effect until you tell xinetd to re-read it. After sending a hangup signal, you should wait and check the log files for error messages related to your changes. xinetd logs errors to syslog under the ‘daemon’ facility. xinetd plays an important role in securing your system. It is important to make sure that only services that you need and trust are enabled in the xinetd.conf file. Typically you modify your xinetd.conf file to disable services that are unnecessary, and turn on only those services that are absolutely necessary.

5 Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) RPC is a collection of tools and library functions for client/server applications, upon which, applications such as NFS, the Network Filesystem are built. An RPC server provides a group of procedures which a client can call by sending a request to the server. The server then invokes the procedure on behalf of the client, returning a value as necessary. The collection of procedures that an RPC server provides is called a program and is identified by a program number. The file /etc/rpc maps service names to their program numbers. You will only need to edit this file if you bring up a new RPC server providing a new set of procedures.

6 RPC The portmapper daemon solves this problem. When an RPC server starts, it picks an available port, and then registers that port and what RPC program numbers it will serve with the portmapper daemon. When a client program needs to access a service, it first queries the portmapper on the RPC server's host which reports the TCP and UDP port on which the server is listening, and then it contacts that port to request its service.

7 RPC Timeline

8 RCP Components Complete RPC Mechanisms

9 Steps in Making a RPC call

10 Network File System (NFS) NFS, or the Network File System, was originally developed by Sun Microsystems in the 1980's as a way to create a file system on diskless clients. NFS provides remote access to shared file systems across networks. NFS is almost transparent to the user and is stateless, meaning that no information is lost when a NFS server crashes. All UNIX vendors provide a version of NFS and many use code licensed from SUN.

11 NFS NFS consists of several components. –a mounting protocol and mount server –daemons that coordinate basic file service –several diagnostic utilities NFS runs on top of Sun’s RPC protocol, which defines a system-independent way for processes to communicate over the network.

12 NFS Architecture The basic NFS architecture for UNIX systems.

13 NFS The server side of the NFS makes files available to other systems by a process called exporting. These file systems that are available to other systems are considered to be shared file systems. In order to access these shared files, the clients have to mount these files systems onto their machines. Once this occurs, the file system is integrated into the directory structure. Server-side NFS –mountd –nfsd

14 Mount Protocol used by Unix mount Command

15 Exporting File Systems On systems, the /etc/exports file on the NFS server contains a list of directories that can be exported, and the restrictions and attributes that are imposed on these directories. /etc/exports –/ master(rw) trusty(rw) If the /etc/exports file is modified the export command must be run for the changes to take effect immediately.

16 Common Export Options

17 Mounting Remote File Systems NFS allows mounting any file system as long as the file system is not one that is already mounted from another server. These files can be mounted at boot time (read from the /etc/vfstab file) or can be mounted individually by the mount command. When mounting remote files, the remote machines’ name has to also be included in the command. parrot.uh.edu:/users/staff /staff nfs rw,noquota 0 0

18 NFS Mount Flags/Options

19 NFS issues Unix identifies users and groups by numbers. If machine X shares files with machine Y, then UID 288 had better refer to the same user on both systems. When mounting file systems, users are generally given identical privileges, but root user ID’s are changed to that if ‘nobody’ so that they cannot become root on a mounted file system.
