It doesn't actually say "allow any IP to mount this share", it says "allow any machine with a 4 part FQDN for rDNS to mount this share". You probably want, as a test, to put the subnet or IP address of your test client in instead of the *'s, and figure out what the real range is as you go. If your clients are linux systems, you don't need the 'insecure' option - that is only useful when the client systems are MacOS X or some other OS that uses high source ports when mounting NFS. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! | | steve@lobefin.net | | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
