(well documented in "Red Hat 9 Customization Guide - Chapter Network File System", it even describes the problem you have in /etc/exports, namely : "If there are no spaces between the hostname and the options in parenthesis, the options apply only to the hostname. If there is a space between the hostname and the options, the options apply to the rest of the world") hope it helps Le jeu 10/02/2005 à 22:26, Rick Stevens a écrit : > Larry Cotton wrote: > > Hi > > > > I'm using fedoracore 2 and am tring to use nfs to export directories > > for use on another machine. > > > > My /etc/exports file looks something like: > > /home/backups alex (rw,sync,squash_uids=0-99) > > /home/servermanager alex (rw, sync) > > > > Whenever I run exportfs I get a couple of warnings to the effect of > > 'no hostname given with /home/servermanager'. > > First, is "alex" in /etc/hosts or resolvable via DNS?
