exports(4)                                             exports(4)



     NAME
          exports - NFS file systems being exported

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/exports

     DESCRIPTION
          The file /etc/exports describes the file systems which are
          being exported to NFS clients.  It is created by the system
          administrator using a text editor and processed by the mount
          request daemon mountd(1M) each time a mount request is
          received.

          The file consists of a list of file systems and the
          netgroups(4) or machine names allowed to remote mount each
          file system.  The file system names are left justified and
          followed by a list of names separated by white space.  The
          names will be looked up in /etc/netgroups and then in
          /etc/hosts.  A file system name with no name list following
          means export to everyone.  A ``#'' anywhere in the file
          indicates a comment extending to the end of the line it
          appears on.

     EXAMPLE
          /usr    clients               # export to my clients
          /usr/local                    # export to the world
          /usr    phoenix sun sundae    # export to only these
                                          machines
