3.10. Exporting Directories with NFS
Mac OS X 10.1 (and earlier versions of Mac OS X) stored
NFS exports in the
/exports portion of the NetInfo directory. As of
Mac OS X 10.2, however, you can use the
/etc/exports file. For example, the following
line exports the /Users directory to two hosts
(192.168.0.134 and 192.168.0.106):
/Users -ro -mapall=nobody 192.168.0.134 192.168.0.106
The NFS server will start automatically at boot time if there are any
exports in the NetInfo database. After you've set up
your exports, you can reboot, and NFS should start automatically. NFS
options supported by Mac OS X include the following:
- -maproot=user
-
Specifies that the remote root user should be
mapped to the specified user. You may specify either a username or
numeric user ID.
- -maproot=user:[group[:group...]]
-
Specifies that the remote root user should be
mapped to the specified user with the specified group credentials. If
you include the colon with no groups, as in
-maproot=username:, it means
the remote user should have no group credentials. You may specify a
username or numeric user ID for user and a
group name or numeric group ID for group.
- -mapall=user
-
Specifies that all remote users should be mapped to the specified
user.
- -mapall=user:[group[:group...]]
-
Specifies that all remote users should be mapped to the specified
user with the specified group credentials. If you include the colon
with no groups, as in
mapall=username:, it
specifies that the remote user should be given no group credentials.
- -kerb
-
Uses a Kerberos authentication server to authenticate and map client
credentials.
- -ro
-
Exports the file system read-only. The synonym -o
is also supported.
