  12. We've just started using net groups on our sun network here and are experiencing
  13. the following error messages when we run exportfs:
  14.  
  15. re-exported /usr
  16. re-exported /var/spool/mail
  17. exportfs: Full_Clients: unknown host
  18. re-exported /export/exec/kvm/sun4c.sunos.4.1.1
  19. exportfs: Full_Clients: unknown host
  20. re-exported /home
  21. exportfs: Full_Clients: unknown host
  22. re-exported /grav0
  23. re-exported /dept0
  24.  
  25. The "unknown" host errors are peculiar since the exports file looks like:
  26.  
  27. /var/spool/mail         -access=Full_Clients
  28. /export/exec/kvm/sun4c.sunos.4.1.1      -access=Full_Clients,root=Full_Clients/home   -access=All_Phillips,root=Full_Clients
  29. /grav0  -access=All_Phillips,root=Full_Clients
  30. /dept0  -access=Full_Clients:wrath,root=caligula
  31.  
  32. and the error does not occur for for /grav0 or /dept0 even though Full_Clients is
  33. given access to these partitions.
  34.  
  35. Can someone give me a fuller explaination of what this error means and what might
  36. be wrong?  Is exportfs occasionally forgetting to look for an entry in
  37. /etc/exports in our netgroup map before looking the hosts map?
  38.  
  39. Thanks,
