Hranicky) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Cannot export a filesystem to a netgroup Date: 30 Oct 1995 22:54:47 GMT Organization: University of Florida, Computer Science Department Lines: 31 Distribution: world Message-ID: <473l3n$1f0@no-names.nerdc.ufl.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: aviator.cis.ufl.edu Keywords: nis/yp, netgroups, exports, mountd, nfs Originator: jfh@aviator.cis.ufl.edu Howdy, I have the following line in my /etc/exports file: /mydir -maproot=nobody cismach cismach is the netgroup I'm trying to export to, but when I start or hup mountd I get: Oct 30 18:45:24 bounce-bsd mountd[20565]: Gethostbyname failed Oct 30 18:45:24 bounce-bsd mountd[20565]: Bad netgroup cismach Oct 30 18:45:24 bounce-bsd mountd[20565]: Bad exports list line /local -maproot Oct 30 18:45:24 bounce-bsd mountd[20565]: Can't open /var/db/mountdtab If I have a hostname instead, all seems well. I put a + in /etc/netgroup as per the man page, but it still doesn't seem to like my netgroups (this isn't the only one it does this on). Any ideas? uname info: FreeBSD bounce-bsd.cis.ufl.edu 2.1.0-950928-SNAP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jim Hranicky, Systems Administrator | | Computer & Information Sciences & Engineering Department, Univ of Florida | | E314E CSE Building jfh@cis.ufl.edu Phone (904) 392-1057 | | http://www.cis.ufl.edu/~jfh | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
