Re: NFS /etc/exports question..

I've recently reclaimed a Gentoo server and turned it into a FreeBSD
6.2-RELEASE system (::sounds of cheering::).

This is our file server, using NFS, and I had a question about /etc/exports:

Granted, this wasn't an issue in Linux--I used to have machines listed by
name (*.sub.olddomain.com), and had the exceptions listed with the
no_root_squash parameter.

So, basically.. what am I missing? :-/ Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Google & man 5 exports have not been my friends today :-/

Thanks in advance!

Hi Glenn,

Have you checked for symlinks? NFS doesn't like symlinks for some reason. That held my /etc/exports up for a while.
