Yes, under Linux you can export to any machine. For example:
/pub (root_quash)
will export /pub to any system without root priveleges (a good idea).
While we are comparing ourselves to Suns, we can also do something
SunOS cannot do which is export a filesystem to a "pattern" of hosts.
This idea was due to Fred N. Van Kempen. The syntax is:
/pub *.subdomain.domain(options)
The pattern consists of '*' (which matches anything but '.') and
ordinary domain name components which are case insensitive for
everything but the host portion. Note: you must be using
nfs-server-1.2 or later for this to work.
