[MLUG] NFS all_squash

[Michel-André]

      7.7. Real permissions don't match what's in /etc/exports

|/etc/exports| is /very/ sensitive to whitespace - so the following 
statements are not the same:

/export/dir hostname(rw,no_root_squash) 
/export/dir hostname (rw,no_root_squash)

The first will grant /hostname/ *|rw|* access to |/export/dir| without 
squashing root privileges. The second will grant /hostname/ *|rw|* 
privileges with root squash and it will grant everyone else read/write 
access, without squashing root privileges. Nice huh?
