Re: /etc/exports

_Never_ put spaces between the IP/system name and the options in parenthesis.
E.g., /export system(rw),
_not_ /export system (rw)

The former will give rw to only system.
The latter will give the default (ro) to system and rw to _all_ other systems.

Subj:  /etc/exports

the dummies book says i should make the following entries into the 
/etc/exports file:

    * /portney/backup    192.168.0.0/24 (rw,sync)
      /portney/linux     192.168.0.0/24 (rw,sync)
      /portney/mp3    192.168.0.0/24 (rw,sync)
      /portney/pix    192.168.0.0/24 (rw,sync)
    *

          o i do not know if it matters if i put spaces or tabs between
            the entries, so if anyone can clear that up i would be happier.

this is what i got when i tried to export the file

[root@localhost ~]# exportfs -a
