The man page for the file /etc/exports defines a method of restricting NFS access based upon membership in a netgroup or based upon DNS names. The NFS server does not respect these restrictions. For example if you restrict a NFS share to your local DNS domain (*.redhat.com), no clients will be able to mount the file share. The client will get a permission denied error. In order to share file systems you must export them to the world. I have never been able to make NIS netgroup restrictions work. However, DNS domain restrictions worked up to Red Hat 5.2. Regards, Joe Kotran
Can you make this reliably occur. I'm running rhat 6.2 on >20 nfs servers and I don't see this problem on ANY of them.

Refer my bug 33742 posted today. Maybe my permission denied is caused by the same sort of thing: the way the exports file is coded.

I think you are right, this probably is a duplicate of 10332. Well, more like 10332 is a duplicate of this, but it all comes down to the same thing in the end... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10332 ***
