/etc/exports is where you would list filesystems (or parts of filesystems) that you wanted to "export" or "share" over the network. Controlling access to such "volumes" can be complicated, but the man page for exports(5) gives an overview. Keep in mind that netgroups may only be used if NIS is running at this time. That may change in future libc versions, but I really wouldn't know. Please also keep in mind that most implementations can't use rw and ro access lists for the same volume if a netgroup is in the access list (anywhere). > 3) Kernald is unable to load iso9660 fs modules on my system. > But I can load it manually with 'insmod isofs'.

That may fix it. Manoj's answer to Q2 may take care of that in the future. Good luck. Richard G.
