Once /etc/exports has has been corrected the problem goes away. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a share 2.under hosts list something inapropriate like several IP addresses separated by semicolons (don't ask) The error can also be recreated with an extra newline at the end of the /etc/exports file. 3.save and quit Actual Results: # redhat-config-nfs Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/redhat-config-nfs.py", line 29, in ? mainWindow.mainWindow() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/mainWindow.py", line 141, in __init__ self.exports = nfsBackend.NfsBackend() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 30, in __init__ self.parseFile() File "/usr/share/redhat-config-nfs/nfsBackend.py", line 88, in parseFile hostname, options = string.split(tokens[1], "(") ValueError: unpack list of wrong size Expected Results: the application should have started and let me correct the host list. Additional info:
Ok, I'll take a look at this. My parser for /etc/exports could be much better overall, so there's some work to be done here.

Created attachment 92150 [details] patch to nfsBackend to properly parse exports file This bug is still present in RH9. This patch seems to fix the problem.
Should be fixed with redhat-config-nfs-1.0.11 in Rawhide.
