Your /etc/exports file is: /home/agrover 192.168.1.55(rw,sync,no_wdelay,squash uids-0-99) /ctn *(rw,async,no_root_squash) /var/log 192.168.1.55(ro,all_squash) /raju 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) /home/mverma 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) /home/rajat 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) /home/raju 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) So /ctn is exported to everyone and the other directories are exported to 192.168.1.55 only. To export /home/raju to 192.168.1.56 as well as 192.168.1.55, you could change the entry to: /home/raju 192.168.1.55(rw,squash uids=0-99) 192.168.1.56(rw,squash uids=0-99) I don't know what those "uids=0-99" bits are for (though I can guess) because the FC3 "exports" man page doesn't mention anything like them.
