>There are two protocols by which you can export files: SMB and
NFS. The former is the protocol employed by typical Windows(R) computers,
and the latter is more common in the Unix world. Since the options available
when employing either of these methods are very different, they have a tab
each.</P

><P
>SMB shares have a number of options: Browseable, which allows
others to see the share when browsing from other machines (if this is off,
the share will be invisible, but users that know about it can still access
it), public, which means that anyone has access to the share (if this is
off, the user must have an account and password on your computer), and
writable, specifying that users that can access this share can also write to
it or delete files.</P

></H4
><P
>Each NFS share has a list of "client patterns", specifying
computers that are allowed to access it. In theory, anyone using these
machines can have access to the share.</P
><P
>A pattern can be an IP address (e.g. 10.10.10.5) or a DNS record
(e.g. justice.copyleft.no). You can also use stars ('*') in the pattern,
specifying that anything goes in place of the star. Stars do not match
punctuations. Thus, the pattern "10.10.10.*" would allow access from
"10.10.10.40" and "10.10.10.5", but not "10.10.11.40". Likewise,
"*.copyleft.no" would match "wrath.copyleft.no", but not
"petri.dish.copyleft.no" or "wrath.copyright.no". Remember that when using
DNS names, you should use the authoritative name for the computer(s), e.g.
what is returned by an nslookup on its IP address.</P
