NFS Server in v11.3

[Stan Goodman]

I have set up NFS Client on this machine, and it sees directories in the
server of another machine.

For convenience, I want to set up a server also (the other machine has
both server and client). but see no icon in YaST for NFS Server, as I have
seen in the past. I have found a procedure (on Source Forge) for doing
this from the command line, but I am curious if the absence of an icon is
a malfunction or an innovation in v11,3.

If the absence is intended, does anyone know what, if anything, is the
logic behind it?

You perhaps haven't downloaded the packages?
Specifically I think yast2-nfs-server and maybe nfs-kernel-server

I have already installed the server from the command line, which was very
easy, and which gave a bit more insight than the CLI install, so the
question is semi-moot now.

According to Software Management, nfs-kernel-server was loaded, but
yast2-nfs-server was not; I have loaded it now.

Or you can choose the pattern view in yast and select the file server
pattern
(I'm looking at 11.2 but I think 11.3 is the same)
