EXPORTS(5)

NAME
exports - NFS file systems being exported

SYNOPSIS
/etc/exports

DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/exports describes the file systems that are exported to nfs(4) clients. It is created by the system administrator using a text editor and processed by the mount request daemon mountd(8c) each time a mount request is received.

The file consists of a list of file systems and the netgroup(5) or machine names allowed to remote mount each file system. The file system names are left justified and followed by a list of names separated by white space. The names will be looked up in /etc/netgroup and then in /etc/hosts. A file system name with no name list following means export to everyone. A ``#'' anywhere in the file indicates a comment extending to the end of the line it appears on. Lines beginning with white space are continuation lines.

EXAMPLE

/usr	clients			# export to my clients
/usr/local			# export to the world
/usr2	phoenix sun sundae	# export to only these machines
