Hi alpha people!
Today I'm asking about dhcp and /etc/exports.
My AlphaServer (4100 T64 v5.0) is serving FTP to many PCs. Up to now PCs
had a fixed address which was present in /etc/exports so they could
share the data with the alpha using Hummingbird Maestro Solo.
Due to a lack of available addresses, the addressing policy has been
changed and now each PCs is given a dynamical address by a centralized
dhcp server. This facts means that I don't know anymore which address to
place in /etc/exports. Infact PCs address change time to time and I
don't like to write in /etc/exports the whole dhcp pool addresses (512
address for now!).
For security reason I don't want to leave empty the /etc/exports fields
allowing everyone to mount my file systems.
I don't use NIS so I can't use NIS netgroups names (which are allowed in
/etc/exports).
I made some test and I could'nt find a way to place in /etc/exports nor
networks addresses (eg 192.168.10 as in /etc/networks) nor wildcards (eg
192.168.10.*)
Can you help me?
Thank to all from Italy,
Emanuele
