The hosts that will have access to the exported directory. Five ways of
specifying which hosts are allowed to mount the directory are available :
- Everyone
- Any host capable of contacting your system is allowed access. This option
should be used with care, especially if your system is connected to the
Internet.
- Hosts(s)
- This can either be a single IP address, a single hostname, or a regular
expression like *.foo.com. In the last case, any host whose
reverse DNS lookup by IP address matches the expression will be allowed
access.
- WebNFS clients
- Allows clients using Sun's WebNFS protocol to access this directory.
- Netgroup
- Allows all members of the specified NIS netgroup to access this export.
- Network and Netmask
- Any host in the specified subnet is allowed access. For example, if the
network was 10.1.2.0 and the netmask 255.255.255.0,
all hosts with IP addresses from 10.1.2.0 to 10.1.2.255
would be allowed.
