NFS HOWTO : Exporting filesystems : IRIX, HP-UX, Digital-UNIX, Ultrix, SunOS 4 (Solaris 1), AIX

8.1. IRIX, HP-UX, Digital-UNIX, Ultrix, SunOS 4 (Solaris 1), AIX

These OSes use the traditional Sun export format. In /etc/exports write:


/mn/eris/local -rw=apollon

The complete documentation is in the exports man page. After editing the file run exportfs -av to export the filesystems.

How strict the exportfs command is about the syntax varies. On some OSes you will find that previously entered lines reads:


/mn/eris/local apollon

or even something degenerate like:


/mn/eris/local rw=apollon

I recommend being formal. You risk that the next version of exportfs if much stricter and then suddenly everything will stop working.
