How do I deny mount access to all but a selected group of NFS client machines?
A. Change the “GLOBAL PERMISSION” entry in the NFS Permissions dialog for the share to “No-Access”. Then push the Add button to bring up the Add Clients and Client Groups dialog. If the names of the machines are not already listed in the upper list box, type their names separated by semi-colons in the Add Names entry box at the bottom of th dialog box and press the OK button. For information on client groups, see the DiskShare Server Utilities section. Q. While adding client nodes in the Add Clients and Client Groups dialog, I get a dialog message box saying “The Name XXXX could not be resolved.” A. The client name could not be resolved into an address using DNS or the hosts file. If DNS is used, the hostname must be added to the database on the DNS server, otherwise the hostname and address should be present in the hosts file. The Add Names entry field will accept dot-notation IP addresses with no host name, but adding the name to the hosts file is the preferred solution.
