When you set up the server to provide clients with access to certain directories, you have the following line in /etc/exports: /vlsi access=clients but we found that it doesn't work! We have to state: /vlsi -access=vlsi4 (i.e., vlsi4 is a specific machine; note the "-" required.) Now, this limits us to only allowing a single client access to the directory /vlsi ! Is there some kind of client file for a server, which the manual has forgot to tell us about? Gary L.

You do need the -, but "/vlsi -access=clients" will work, _iff_ clients is a netgroup defined in the yellow pages (and you have to be running yellow pages for this to work). See netgroup(5) for details. @alex inet: dupuy@cs.columbia.edu uucp: ...!rutgers!cs.columbia.edu!dupuy
