when using NFS the file to be concerned with is /etc/exports and /etc/hosts what i do, say your friend's machine is ip 10.10.10.5 i would ad din /etc/hosts myfriend 10.10.10.5 then in /etc/exports /path_that_you_want_him_to_access myfriend(ro,no_root_squash) i would reccomend keeping it read only (the ro flag) if you must do read write replace ro with rw. no_root_squash will allow him to mount it and use it as 'root'. This is what i do, i only use NFS in a very trusted enviornment. You will have to restart the NFS server for changes to /etc/exports to take effect.
