NFSGroup, and NFSUser entries in the access-control files in the

volumes folder on the CD-ROM server. The following values can

be used:

ters. A user fulfilling any one of the NFS access criteria you

have specified will be granted access. If you set an asterisk

regardless of the settings of the other parameters.

You may add as many NFSIPAddress, NFSGroup and NFSUser

parameters as you require. See the following examples.
