update
We have a server that users post information via NFS. In order for the to get access their computer has to be in the etc/hosts file. what we want to do is allow the subnet so we don't have to add each PC as they need to post.

HOSTS File

Hi All, I am to the UNIX world and want to know if I can specify a range of IP addresses instead of having to include one by one on the HOSTS file. Can I just say 127.20.1.1 to 127.20.1.156 ? Or the only way is to put one by one along with the machine name next to the IP ? THANKS (4 Replies)

showmount

SHOWMOUNT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME

     showmount -- show remote NFS mounts on host

SYNOPSIS

     showmount [-Ae36] [-a | -d] [host]

DESCRIPTION

     showmount shows status information about the NFS server on host.  By default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file systems
     mounted on the host. See NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC 1094, Appendix A, and NFS: Network File System Version 3
     Protocol Specification, Appendix I, for a detailed description of the protocol.

     -A      Search for NFS servers advertised via Bonjour.

     -a      List all mount points in the form: host:dirpath

     -d      List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts.

     -e      Show the host's exports list.

     -3      Use mount protocol Version 3, compatible with NFS Version 3.

     -6      Use only IPv6 addresses to contact servers.

SEE ALSO

     mount(1), mountd(8), nfsd(8), mDNSResponder(8)

BUGS

     The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless.  showmount will only display
     the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.

HISTORY

     The showmount utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
