Sorry if this is not apropos for STABLE. I am running 3.1-STABLE, and wish to NFS export the _directory_ /usr/home. Currently, my /var and /usr are directories under /, I dont have a seperate /usr partition. I want to export /usr/home, but do NOT want to have to export /. According to my 4.4BSD SMM "...the kernel information is stored on a per local file system mount point and client host address basis and cannot refer to individiual directories within the local server filesystem." THis makes sense. I can export /, but not /usr/home. With the -alldirs in the exports line I can mount only /usr/home on the remote machine, but there is nothing to stop anyone with appropriate permissions on the remote host to mount / and go through my filesystem. Has this been changed in FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE? Or do I have to live with only being able to export whole filesystems? -- ________________________________________________________________________ Gavan A.
