I have a netgroup with some 200 or so hosts listed in it. When I add it as an export control on a single file system it slows mountd down a bit but not badly. However, if I add it to more than a few file systems in /etc/exports mountd becomes very slow in replying and eventually gives up and dies. It doesn't matter if the netgroup is obtained out of /etc/netgroup or a NIS map. The behavior is exactly the same either way. The problem exists on 6.1-STABLE as well as 6.2-PRERELEASE compiled last night. I'd really like to get this working. The idea of exporting hundreds of user home directories without at least limiting what hosts they can talk to makes me very nervous. Yes, I know NFS = No F***ing Security but I'd still like to make *some* attempt at reasonableness. Limiting to network isn't sufficient, there are lots of students with laptops plugging in everywhere. Any hints or ideas? thanks, nomad
