nfs oddities

[Lindsay Allen <allen@cleo.murdoch.edu.au>]

My bo box exports files in the expected way, but my hamm box does not. 
Last week it would not export anything unless the client was listed using
its IP number.  Now it accepts a hostname but has a problem with
wildcards.  It will not export to a host by using a wildcard unless there
is a valid explicit entry for that host without a wildcard.  So when
exporting /debian to gum.scotch.etc this works:-

# /etc/exports
/usr        gum.scotch.wa.edu.au
/debian     *.scotch.wa.edu.au

but this does not:-

# /etc/exports
/debian     *.scotch.wa.edu.au


When it fails the error message is:-
mount: elm:/debian failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

and the log shows:
Oct 26 10:05:04 elm mountd[193]: Unauthorized access by NFS client
203.59.46.13.
Oct 26 10:05:04 elm mountd[193]: Blocked attempt of 203.59.46.13 to mount
/debian


Installed packages:-
 netbase 3.00-1
 netstd  3.00-1
 mount   2.6g-2
