Description Squalus acanthias 2024-01-01 21:52:25 CET 
Description of problem:

I cannot configure a specific IP address as a client in NFS sharing with MCC.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "MCC / Network Sharing / Configure NFS shares / Share drives and directories using NFS".
2. Click on "Add".
3. Go to drop-down list under "Host access / Access".
4. Only the following options appear: "*", "*.", "192.168.0.0/8" and "192.168.0.0/24". But I need to put this specific IP address: "192.168.0.25".

I know I can manually modify the /etc/exports file, but I'd prefer to do it from MCC.

Thank so much :-)

Thank you for the suggestion, which involves changing the drop-down list (or an additional field) to allow specific IP addresses. I am unsure of the technical requirements here.

The MCC manual (English) Network Sharing-Share drives and directories using NFS-
draknfs-Host access says:
"Here you can specify the hosts that are authorized to access the shared directory.
NFS clients may be specified in a number of ways:"
but the following descriptions 'single host', 'netgroups', 'wildcards', 'IP networks' do not correspond with the illustrated - and actual - single drop-down list which you describe.

Which strategy - the manual or the reality - is meant to apply, I leave to the packagers. Is what you want legitimate, or is the choice offered as it should be?

draknfs in pkg drakx-net
Assigning to MageiaTools, but it may be that if the current implementation is adequate, that the manual needs correcting here (Doc team).

OK. Thank you very much for the attention. Indeed, the manual does not correspond to current reality. I think what I'm trying to do is very common (give a machine access to a resource), so it should be able to be done graphically.
