4.

Enable simple sharing to allow users to share folders from their HOME folder, without knowing the root password.

6.

Enable advanced sharing to allow users to share any folders, as long as they have write access to the needed configuration files, or they know the root password.

Here you can see a list of hosts which are allowed to access this directory via NFS.
The first column shows the name or address of the host, the second column shows the access parameters. The name '*' donates public access.

34.

<b>Name / Address field</b>
<p>
Here you can enter the host name or address.<br>
The host may be specified in a number of ways:
<p>
<i>single host</i>
<p>
This is the most common format. You may specify a host either by an abbreviated name recognized by the resolver, the fully qualified domain name, or an IP address.
</p>

<i>netgroups</i>
<p>
NIS netgroups may be given as @group. Only the host part of each netgroup members is consider in checking for membership. Empty host parts or those containing a single dash (-) are ignored.
</p>

<i>wildcards</i>
<p>
Machine names may contain the wildcard characters * and ?. This can be used to make the exports file more compact; for instance, *.cs.foo.edu matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.edu. However, these wildcard characters do not match the dots in a domain name, so the above pattern does not include hosts such as a.b.cs.foo.edu.
</p>

<i>IP networks</i>
<p>
You can also export directories to all hosts on an IP (sub-) network simultaneously. This is done by specifying an IP address and netmask pair as address/netmask where the netmask can be specified in dotted-decimal format, or as a contiguous mask length (for example, either `/255.255.252.0' or `/22' appended to the network base address result in identical subnetworks with 10 bits of host).
</p>

36.

<b>Public access</b>
<p>
If you check this, the host address will be a single wildcard , which means public access.
This is just the same as if you would enter a wildcard in the address field.
</p>

39.

<b>Writable</b>
<p>
Allow both read and write requests on this NFS volume.
</p>
<p>
The default is to disallow any request which changes the filesystem
</p>

41.

<b>Insecure</b>
<p>
If this option is checked, it is not required that requests originate on an internet port less than IPPORT_RESERVED (1024).
</p>
<p>
If unsure leave it unchecked.
</p>

43.

<b>Sync</b>
<p>
This option requests that all file writes be committed to disk before the write request completes. This is required for complete safety of data in the face of a server crash, but incurs a performance hit.
</p>
<p>
The default is to allow the server to write the data out whenever it is ready.
</p>

45.

<b>No wdelay</b>
<p>
This option only has effect if sync is also set. The NFS server will normally delay committing a write request to disk slightly if it suspects that another related write request may be in progress or may arrive soon. This allows multiple write requests to be committed to disk with the one operation which can improve performance. If an NFS server received mainly small unrelated requests, this behavior could actually reduce performance, so no wdelay is available to turn it off. </p>

47.

<b>No hide</b>
<p>
This option is based on the option of the same name provided in IRIX NFS. Normally, if a server exports two filesystems one of which is mounted on the other, then the client will have to mount both filesystems explicitly to get access to them. If it just mounts the parent, it will see an empty directory at the place where the other filesystem is mounted. That filesystem is "hidden".
</p>
<p>
Setting the nohide option on a filesystem causes it not to be hidden, and an appropriately authorized client will be able to move from the parent to that filesystem without noticing the change.
</p>
<p>
However, some NFS clients do not cope well with this situation as, for instance, it is then possible for two files in the one apparent filesystem to have the same inode number.
</p>
<p>
The nohide option is currently only effective on single host exports. It does not work reliably with netgroup, subnet, or wildcard exports.
</p>
<p>
This option can be very useful in some situations, but it should be used with due care, and only after confirming that the client system copes with the situation effectively.
