Hi there.

>> /proc/fs/nfsd/exports would have:

>> /home myhost 15 01000001,-02000001
>> /home 2.0.0.1 10 02000001

>> or

>> /home localhost(async,ro,root_squash) # 1.0.0.1,(2.0.0.1)
>> /home 2.0.0.1(async) # 2.0.0.1

The expert has spoken. Unless I miss my guess, anything resembling the
first version will get a definate veto from the Man Who Matters, so
you might as well aim for the second to start with...

As per my earlier reply, I'm in full agreement with Linus - but then,
I usually have no problems agreeing with him since what he says is
usually what I believe anyway...

Best wishes from Riley.
