How to change NFS export allowed IP addresses on Mac OS X Server (Tiger)?

  • 772

I am running NFS on a Mac OS X Server 10.4. I had originally set up the NFS exports in the GUI, and restricted the IP addresses in the GUI to which it can export.

Right now, I only have command-line (ssh) access to the Mac. When I run showmount -e, it returns

/Volumes/Data/myshare             172.18.150.138 172.18.150.130

which is correct. However, I want to change the IP addresses to which it is exported to 172.18.150.134 and 172.18.150.132.

When I run nicl . -list /exports, it prints

116        /Volumes/Data/myshare

but I do not know how to change any information in nicl.

There is no /etc/exports file, and when I run find / -exec grep -H "172.18.150" {} \; nothing comes up. nfsd is running.

How can I change the allowed IP addresses in the command-line on Mac OS X Server 10.4?

    Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger uses NetInfo database, which was discontinued in 10.5 Leopard. For 10.4:

    nicl . -delete 116 clients 172.18.150.130
nicl . -delete 116 clients 172.18.150.138
nicl . -append 116 clients 172.18.150.132
nicl . -append 116 clients 172.18.150.134

    Then restart the NFS server.
