Yep, many of you bent me in the right direction, actually a sudden vision of clarity about11 last night got me to the same place, but this AM's Email confirms.

I _really_ must admit, that Toasters isnt line any other technical mailing list where "Duh, its in the manual" is the most common answer.

Thanks!

Steve,

If by 'netaccess' you really ment root access you are correct. Granting root access requires a specific list of hosts. <scw>

From steveb According to my docs. You can't give netgroups netaccess. Just specific

hosts.

Although I am only running version 3.1. this may have changed in later

versions.

According to Mohler, Jeff : :-) :-) Ok..sendmail ate my brain today, so a simple netgroup insertion..NO

problem.

:-) :-) My /etc/netgroup file on the filer: :-) :-) dgrmouse# more netgroup :-) News-Feeders (news-feeder2-qfe1.wiltec.twc.com,,) :-) (news-feeder2-qfe0.wiltec.t :-) wc.com,,) (news-feeder-qfe0.wcg.net,,) (news-feeder-qfe1.wcg.net,,) :-) News-Readers (news-reader-qfe0.wcg.net,,)

(news-reader-qfe1.wcg.net,,)

:-) (news- :-) reader3-qfe1.wcg.net,,) (news-reader3-qfe0.wcg.net,,) :-) :-) All hosts resolve, and are also entered in /etc/hosts on the filer. :-) :-) My attempted export: :-) :-) /vol/NetMaint -access=News-Feeders,root=News-Feeders :-) :-) Output: :-) :-) ratbert> exportfs -a :-) export: Can't find address for host News-Feeders :-) :-) :-) ? :-) :-) :-) Everything Ive looked at, "feels" ok, looks OK, but the filer dont

think

:-) it's ok. Netgroup is told to look in 'files' initially in Name :-) Services/DNS as well. :-)
