ASE+NIS Question

   Hallo,
    Iam having an ASE+NFS question:

    We are having 2 File servers configured with ASE(Available server
environment)
    All the user home directories are on this server. We also use NIS in our
    environment for passwd, group etc. We use automount to export the
information
    to user Tru64 WS. That means I have the following entries in
/etc/exports file on the
    server.

    .INCLUDE /etc/exports.ase

  and exports.ase file contains:

   .INCLUDE /etc/exports.ase.macine1
   .INCLUDE /etc/exports.ase.machine2

   and /etc/exports.ase.macine1 contains:

      /home /var/ase/mnt/machine1/home -root=0 <--------------------

    We are having around 40 Tru64 WS used by users. So when the user logs
    to his machine his directory is exported to that machine. But the
security
    is not enough since you see the mount command marked with <---. I would
    like to know how can I specify the WS names so that only these WS are
allowed
    to mount the /home directory. Not all the machines on the net. Is there
a way
    of specifying all the machines in a file and name that file in the
export file?
    If that the case where I have to mention that file in the above export
command?

    Normally in export command one can explicitly define the name of the
machine
    for mount access. I donot know how can I do it with ASE since I have a
number
    of machines I need few lines to specify all the machines in the file. Is
this allowed
    with ASE?

    Your suuggestions will be appreciated.

     regards,
     Kumar
