exportfs -i -o access=-terra:engineering /var/adm

Export access to /var/adm where the hostname,

terra, is granted access because it is part of the net-

WARNINGS

You cannot export a directory that resides within the same ﬁle system and is either a parent or sub-

directory of a directory that is currently exported. For example,

/usr and /usr/local cannot both be

exported if they reside in the same disk partition.

If you unexport a directory, remove a client from the access list, then export again, the client still has

access to the directory until the client unmounts the directory. Removing a client from the

root

or rw list

takes effect immediately.

/etc/xtab is a system ﬁle that contains a list of currently exported directories and ﬁles. This ﬁle is

maintained by exportfs. To ensure that this ﬁle is always synchronous with current system data struc-

tures, do not attempt to edit /etc/xtab by hand.
