exports

[Nobody's Hero]

Can someone show me an example of their /etc/exports file?

When I try to nfs mount a file I get an error message after runninf exportfs -av

"exportfs: -rw=apollon has non-inet addr"

My /etc/exports file looks like:
/asu/fsdev/ -rw=apollon

Example

/backups 192.168.0.41/255.255.255.0(r0)

opens up the /backups filesystem read only to one IP address.

Hi,

I assume /asu/fsdev is a valid directory on your server.

The =apollon is an invalid command.

If apollon is the authorised box (that can read and write /asu/fsdev), the exports should be :
/asu/fsdev/ apollon(rw)
Aother example :

/asu/fsdev/ apollon(rw) maple(ro,squash uids=0-99)
Here I allow apollon as above, and maple to read only, not allowing accounts under 100.

Last example :
/pub *.mydomain.com(rw)
/tmp (ro, insecure,all_squash)
/dir 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0(ro)

Here I allow pub for any machine on rw in mydomain.com, tmp a public read only dir for everybody, and /dir in ro for any machine in 10.x.x.x range.

Do you see how it works ?
