Date: Thu, 5 Dec 1996 10:22:15 -0500 Organization: University of Maryland, Baltimore County Lines: 32 Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.3.91.961205100611.1023A-100000@adm4.lib.umbc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: adm4.lib.umbc.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII NNTP-Posting-User: unknown I have the following exports file but when the machine boots up it says: Dec 5 11:28:59 adm4 mountd[83]: Bad exports list line /usr/idea-nc -alldirs 130.85.150.10 Here is the entire file: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #The following examples export /usr to 3 machines named after ducks, #/home and all directories under it to machines named after dead rock stars #and, finally, /a to 2 privileged machines allowed to write on it as root. #/usr huey louie dewie #/home -alldirs janice jimmy frank #/a -maproot=0 bill albert # # You should replace these lines with your actual exported filesystems. /usr/idea-nc -alldirs 130.85.150.10 After that didn't work I even went so far as to include every directory/file I wanted to export from that tree. It than gave me errors on directories only, but all the individual files export. This seems strange because I thought it would be the exact opposite. It does say Can't change attributes for <directory name> when mountd runs. I would appreciate any help you can offer, if you could possibly send it to e-mail to it would make things easier but that isn't absolutely neccessary. Thanks, Chris Brandenburg chris@adm4.lib.umbc.edu
