[NCLUG] /etc/exports question

[Michael Coffman]

I just re-installed my system with the latest KRUD.  I have
been using mandrake prior to this without issue.  I am not
getting what I think should be the appropriate behaviour from
nfs/mountd.  The only enties in my /etc/exports file that seem
to allow remote hosts to mount are single host entries.  If I
try

  /home @all(rw)   # @all is a valid netgroup and yp is running

I get a "Permission denied" error on the client and following entry in
/var/log/messages:

  May 11 07:44:18 critter rpc.mountd: refused mount request from joker for /home (/): no export entry

Same results with the entry:

  /home *.ftc.agilent.com(rw)

But it works if I use:

  /home joker(rw)

I also tried:

  /home 130.29.208.0/28(rw)

With no luck.  I was not sure how to format that last one.  It is a class C
network.

Any ideas where to look for why only the host name is working in /etc/exports?
