You should normally use one of -mapuser, -maproot, or -kerb to specify how client credentials are assigned on the exporting system (or, I suppose, -public, if you really don't care who has write access to the export :-) Without any of those options, the export is ambiguous, and correctly generates an error. Read the man page exports(5) to determine which of the options applies to your situation, and what the option syntax is, or let us know exactly what this export is used for, and we'll be glad to offer you configuration advice. For example, between trusted hosts, this is common: /usr/local/www/data/images -maproot=0 hostA hostB Would allow root on hostA and hostB root access to the NFS export (hostA and hostB should definitely be trusted machines), and map all other client UIDs to UIDs on the server. Hope this helps, - Ryan > My /etc/hosts is: > > xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa hostA.fqdn hostA > aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd hostB.fqdn hostB > > ------ > > What am I missing?
