Hi,
Is there a way we can export a file system with write permissions for only one user.
For eg. we have many users on the network, but only user2 should have write permissions on the exported file system and for others it should be read-only. (7 Replies)

mountd
MOUNTD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNTD(8)
NAME
mountd -- service remote NFS mount requests
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/mountd [-nr] [exportsfile]
DESCRIPTION
Mountd is the server for NFS mount requests from other client machines. Mountd listens for service requests at the port indicated in the NFS
server specification; see Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC1094, Appendix A and NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol
Specification, Appendix I.
Options and operands available for mountd:
-n The -n option allows non-root mount requests to be served. This should only be specified if there are clients such as PC's, that
require it.
-r The -r option allows mount RPCs requests for regular files to be served. Although this seems to violate the mount protocol specifi-
cation, some diskless workstations do mount requests for their swapfiles and expect them to be regular files. Since a regular file
cannot be specified in /etc/exports, the entire file system in which the swapfiles resides will have to be exported with the -alldirs
flag.
exportsfile
The exportsfile argument specifies an alternate location for the exports file.
When mountd is started, it loads the export host addresses and options into the kernel using the mount(2) system call. After changing the
exports file, a hangup signal should be sent to the mountd daemon to get it to reload the export information. After sending the SIGHUP (kill
-s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`), check the syslog output to see if mountd logged any parsing errors in the exports file.
FILES
/etc/exports the list of exported filesystems
/var/run/mountd.pid the pid of the currently running mountd
SEE ALSO
nfsstat(1), exports(5), nfsd(8), portmap(8), showmount(8)
HISTORY
The mountd utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
