-60- How can I tell what hostname to use in /etc/exports?


  NFS servers may need a particular form of a client's name in
  /etc/exports to allow the client access. This may not be obvious, for
  example if the server is also a router. Log in from the client to the
  server and say 'echo $REMOTEHOST' to see what the server thinks the
  client is called, and put that in /etc/exports.

  The System Manager ('chost') should be able to determine the correct
  hostname for you.
