Package: nfs-kernel-server
Version: 1:1.2.2-4
Severity: important

I just installed avahi-daemon on my server, and after I had restarted nfs-
kernel-server I was no longer able to mount my nfs drives. (it would give me
access denied errors) After trying some different things, I had found out that
the problem was with using wildcards for IP addresses. (example: 192.168.*.*) I
had one export with an exact IP address, which worked fine, but the wildcard
addresses gave access denied errors. When I stopped avahi-daemon and restarted
nfs-kernel-server I was able to connect again. I was able to work around this
by adding another export with *.local as the wildcard, but that isn't as safe
as using IP addresses.

This is not a bug.  The manual page exports(5) says that "[w]ildcard
characters generally do not work on IP addresses, though they may work
by accident when reverse DNS lookups fail."  avahi's multicast DNS
service presumably causes reverse DNS lookups for the local network to
succeed when they did not before.  The correct syntax is
address/netmask, e.g. 192.168.0.0/16.
