EXPORTS(NF)                        UNIX System V



     Name
          exports - NFS file systems being exported


     Syntax
          /etc/exports


     Description
          The file /etc/exports describes the file systems  which  are
          being  exported to NFS clients.  It is created by the system
          administrator using a text editor and processed by the mount
          request  daemon  mountd(NADM)  each  time a mount request is
          received.

          The file  consists  of  a  list  of  file  systems  and  the
          netgroups(NF)  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/netgroups  and  then  in
          /etc/hosts.   A file system name with no name list following
          means export to everyone.  A sharp sign (#) 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      paris peoria phoenix  # export to only these machines


     Files
          /etc/exports


     Notes
          The identification of the remote system is dependent on  the
          local network transport mechanism employed.
