39.Sh NAME
40.Nm exports
41.Nd define remote mount points for
42.Tn NFS
43mount requests
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Nm
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49file specifies remote mount points for the
50.Tn NFS
51mount protocol per the
52.Tn NFS
53server specification; see
54.%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
cabeba47 55RFC 1094, Appendix A and
984263bc
MD
56.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Specification" ,
57Appendix I.
58.Pp
59Each line in the file
60(other than comment lines that begin with a #)
61specifies the mount point(s) and export flags within one local server
62filesystem for one or more hosts.
63A host may be specified only once for each local filesystem on the
64server and there may be only one default entry for each server
65filesystem that applies to all other hosts.
66The latter exports the filesystem to the ``world'' and should
67be used only when the filesystem contains public information.
68.Pp
69In a mount entry,
70the first field(s) specify the directory path(s) within a server filesystem
71that can be mounted on by the corresponding client(s).
72There are two forms of this specification.
73The first is to list all mount points as absolute
74directory paths separated by whitespace.
75The second is to specify the pathname of the root of the filesystem
76followed by the
77.Fl alldirs
78flag;
79this form allows the host(s) to mount at any point within the filesystem,
80including regular files if the
81.Fl r
82option is used on
83.Xr mountd 8 .
84The pathnames must not have any symbolic links in them and should not have
85any "." or ".." components.
86Mount points for a filesystem may appear on multiple lines each with
87different sets of hosts and export options.
88.Pp
89The second component of a line specifies how the filesystem is to be
90exported to the host set.
91The option flags specify whether the filesystem
92is exported read-only or read-write and how the client uid is mapped to
93user credentials on the server.
94.Pp
95Export options are specified as follows:
96.Pp
97.Sm off
98.Fl maproot No = Sy user
99.Sm on
100The credential of the specified user is used for remote access by root.
101The credential includes all the groups to which the user is a member
102on the local machine (see
103.Xr id 1 ) .
104The user may be specified by name or number.
105.Pp
106.Sm off
107.Fl maproot No = Sy user:group1:group2:...
108.Sm on
109The colon separated list is used to specify the precise credential
110to be used for remote access by root.
111The elements of the list may be either names or numbers.
112Note that user: should be used to distinguish a credential containing
113no groups from a complete credential for that user.
114.Pp
115.Sm off
116.Fl mapall No = Sy user
117.Sm on
118or
119.Sm off
120.Fl mapall No = Sy user:group1:group2:...
121.Sm on
122specifies a mapping for all client uids (including root)
123using the same semantics as
124.Fl maproot .
125.Pp
126The option
127.Fl r
128is a synonym for
129.Fl maproot
130in an effort to be backward compatible with older export file formats.
131.Pp
132In the absence of
133.Fl maproot
134and
135.Fl mapall
136options, remote accesses by root will result in using a credential of -2:-2.
137All other users will be mapped to their remote credential.
138If a
139.Fl maproot
140option is given,
141remote access by root will be mapped to that credential instead of -2:-2.
142If a
143.Fl mapall
144option is given,
145all users (including root) will be mapped to that credential in
146place of their own.
147.Pp
148The
149.Fl ro
150option specifies that the filesystem should be exported read-only
151(default read/write).
152The option
153.Fl o
154is a synonym for
155.Fl ro
156in an effort to be backward compatible with older export file formats.
157.Pp
158.Tn WebNFS
159exports strictly according to the spec (RFC 2054 and RFC 2055) can
160be done with the
161.Fl public
162flag.
163However, this flag in itself allows r/w access to all files in
164the filesystem, not requiring reserved ports and not remapping uids.
165It
166is only provided to conform to the spec, and should normally not be used.
167For a
168.Tn WebNFS
169export,
170use the
171.Fl webnfs
172flag, which implies
173.Fl public ,
174.Sm off
175.Fl mapall No = Sy nobody
176.Sm on
177and
178.Fl ro .
179.Pp
180A
181.Sm off
182.Fl index No = Sy file
183.Sm on
184option can be used to specify a file whose handle will be returned if
185a directory is looked up using the public filehandle
186.Pq Tn WebNFS .
187This is to mimic the behavior of URLs.
188If no
189.Fl index
190option is specified, a directory filehandle will be returned as usual.
191The
192.Fl index
193option only makes sense in combination with the
194.Fl public
195or
196.Fl webnfs
197flags.
198.Pp
199Specifying the
200.Fl quiet
201option will inhibit some of the syslog diagnostics for bad lines in
202.Pa /etc/exports .
203This can be useful to avoid annoying error messages for known possible
204problems (see
205.Sx EXAMPLES
206below).
207.Pp
208The third component of a line specifies the host set to which the line applies.
209The set may be specified in three ways.
210The first way is to list the host name(s) separated by white space.
211(Standard Internet ``dot'' addresses may be used in place of names.)
212The second way is to specify a ``netgroup'' as defined in the netgroup file (see
213.Xr netgroup 5 ) .
214The third way is to specify an Internet subnetwork using a network and
215network mask that is defined as the set of all hosts with addresses within
216the subnetwork.
217This latter approach requires less overhead within the
218kernel and is recommended for cases where the export line refers to a
219large number of clients within an administrative subnet.
220.Pp
221The first two cases are specified by simply listing the name(s) separated
222by whitespace.
223All names are checked to see if they are ``netgroup'' names
224first and are assumed to be hostnames otherwise.
225Using the full domain specification for a hostname can normally
226circumvent the problem of a host that has the same name as a netgroup.
227The third case is specified by the flag
228.Sm off
229.Fl network No = Sy netname
230.Sm on
231and optionally
232.Sm off
233.Fl mask No = Sy netmask .
234.Sm on
235If the mask is not specified, it will default to the mask for that network
236class (A, B or C; see
237.Xr inet 4 ) .
238See the
239.Sx EXAMPLES
240section below.
241.Pp
242The
243.Xr mountd 8
244utility can be made to re-read the
245.Nm
246file by sending it a hangup signal as follows:
247.Bd -literal -offset indent
248kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`
249.Ed
250.Pp
251After sending the
252.Dv SIGHUP ,
253check the
254.Xr syslogd 8
255output to see whether
256.Xr mountd 8
257logged any parsing errors in the
258.Nm
259file.

MD
284is exported to hosts
285.Em friends
286where friends is specified in the netgroup file
287with users mapped to their remote credentials and
288root mapped to uid 0 and group 10.
289It is exported read-write and the hosts in ``friends'' can mount either /usr
290or /usr/local.
291It is exported to
292.Em 131.104.48.16
293and
294.Em grumpy.cis.uoguelph.ca
295with users mapped to their remote credentials and
296root mapped to the user and groups associated with ``daemon'';
297it is exported to the rest of the world as read-only with
298all users mapped to the user and groups associated with ``nobody''.
299.Pp
f1481abe 300.Pa /u
984263bc
MD
301is exported to all hosts on the subnetwork
302.Em 131.104.48
303with root mapped to the uid for ``bin'' and with no group access.
304.Pp
f1481abe 305.Pa /u2
984263bc
MD
306is exported to the hosts in ``friends'' with root mapped to uid and groups
307associated with ``root'';
308it is exported to all hosts on network ``cis-net'' allowing mounts at any
309directory within /u2.
310.Pp
311The filesystem rooted at
f1481abe 312.Pa /cdrom
984263bc
MD
313will exported read-only to the entire network 192.168.33.0/24, including
314all its subdirectories.
315Since
f1481abe 316.Pa /cdrom
984263bc
MD
317is the conventional mountpoint for a CD-ROM device, this export will
318fail if no CD-ROM medium is currently mounted there since that line
319would then attempt to export a subdirectory of the root filesystem
320with the
321.Fl alldirs
322option which is not allowed.
323The
324.Fl quiet
325option will then suppress the error message for this condition that
326would normally be syslogged.
327As soon as an actual CD-ROM is going to be mounted,
328.Xr mount 8
329will notify
330.Xr mountd 8
331about this situation, and the
f1481abe 332.Pa /cdrom
3f5e28f4 333filesystem will be exported as intended.
984263bc
MD
334Note that without using the
335.Fl alldirs
336option, the export would always succeed.
337While there is no CD-ROM medium mounted under
f1481abe 338.Pa /cdrom ,
984263bc 339it would export the (normally empty) directory
f1481abe 340.Pa /cdrom
984263bc
MD
341of the root filesystem instead.

347.Sh BUGS
348The export options are tied to the local mount points in the kernel and
349must be non-contradictory for any exported subdirectory of the local
350server mount point.
351It is recommended that all exported directories within the same server
352filesystem be specified on adjacent lines going down the tree.
353You cannot specify a hostname that is also the name of a netgroup.
354Specifying the full domain specification for a hostname can normally
355circumvent the problem.
