EXPORTFS(8)							   EXPORTFS(8)

NAME
       exportfs - export and unexport directories to NFS clients

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/exportfs [ -avui ] [ -o options ] [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION
       exportfs	 makes a local directory (or file) available for mounting over
       the network by NFS clients.  It is normally invoked at boot time by the
       /etc/rc.local  script,  and  uses  information contained in the exports
       list (either the /etc/exports file or the NetInfo  /exports  directory)
       to  export  a  directory	 (which must be specified as a full pathname).
       The super-user can run exportfs at  any	time  to  alter	 the  list  or
       characteristics	 of   exported	 directories.	Directories  that  are
       currently exported  are listed in the file /etc/xtab.

       With  no	 options  or  arguments,  exportfs  prints  out	 the  list  of
       directories currently exported.

OPTIONS
       -a     All.  Export all directories listed in the exports list or if -u
	      is  specified,  unexport	 all   of   the	  currently   exported
	      directories.

       -v     Verbose.	Print each directory as it is exported or unexported.

       -u     Unexport the indicated directories.

       -i     Ignore the options in the exports list.  Normally, exportfs will
	      consult the exports list for the	options	 associated  with  the
	      exported directory.

       -o options
	      Specify  a  comma-separated list of optional characteristics for
	      the directory being exported.   options  can  be	selected  from
	      among:

	      ro     Export  the  directory  read-only.	 If not specified, the
		     directory is exported read-write.

	      rw=hostname[:hostname]...
		     Export  the  directory  read-mostly.   Read-mostly	 means
		     exported  read-only  to  most machines, but read-write to
		     those specified.  If  not	specified,  the	 directory  is
		     exported read-write to all.

	      anon=uid
		     If	 a  request comes from an unknown user, use uid as the
		     effective user ID.	 Note: root users (uid 0)  are	always
		     considered	 "unknown"  by the NFS server, unless they are
		     included in the "root" option below.  The	default	 value
		     for  this option is -2.  Setting the value of ``anon'' to
		     -1 disables anonymous access.

	      root=hostname[:hostname]...
		     Give root access only to the root users from a  specified
		     hostname.	The default is for no hosts to be granted root
		     access.

	      access=client[:client]...
		     Give mount access to each client listed.	A  client  can
		     either  be	 a  hostname, or a netgroup (see netgroup(5)).
		     Each client in the list  is  first	 checked  for  in  the
		     /etc/netgroup database, and then the /etc/hosts database.
		     The default value allows any machine to mount  the	 given
		     directory.

FILES
       /etc/exports	   static export information
       /etc/xtab	   current state of exported directories
       /etc/netgroup

SEE ALSO
       exports(5), netgroup(5)

WARNINGS
       You  cannot  export  a  directory  that	is  either a parent- or a sub-
       directory of one	 that  is  currently  exported	and  within  the  same
       filesystem.   It would be illegal, for example, to export both /usr and
       /usr/local if both directories resided in the same disk partition.
