My sirloin (au jus) is that the admin manual seems to suggest that setting up the exports file in this crazy way is an acceptable configuration.
It IS!!! It is also desirable once in a while, for example if you're booting Xterms via NFS, etc.
This doesn't work in exports (everthing is read-only): /somevol -ro,access=netgroup1:netgroup2
It's what's it is supposed to be.
but this does (anyone mounts read-only except read-write for those listed in the rw list): /somevol -ro,rw=host1:host2:host3
I should either be able to use -rw with netgroups, or I should be able to mix -ro and -access.
Doode!!! (anyone that commands respect can't be this clueless), you CAN mix ro and access as you showed earlier.
I WOULD, however, like to see netgroups in ro and rw and do away with access.
Bryan, please get a book on NFS before you dig yourself deeper into the doo. Someone here might be ingenious enough to send your boss e-mail with a job offer knowing that he has you for a sysadmin.
