I have s strange problem with the netgroup file ( I think ... ) I'm running 6.5.2R1 on a F87 box and I have a problem adding a machine in the /etc/netgroup file of the filer.

The file is local to the filer.

When I add a machine called "alfa" into the netgroup file the partition is not exported for this machine.

I've tried to move the alfa machine to several places in the netgroup file but it does not help at all, nothing written in syslog nor to the console ...

Did you add your netgroup to your /etc/exports? Did you try a 'exportfs-a' to re-read your tables?

Another thing to try is rebooting the filer. Sounds gross, but my real question here is whether or not the changes to /etc/netgroup are being picked up or not?

Try the first suggestions before trying this radical step. Also, if the netgroup already existed inside the export list and the client had tried to access the export, then it might be cached in the access cache. In that case, try "exportfs -f /export_path".
