Default Doubts

question 1: What is the use of root_squash option in nfs and why do we have to use the same in /etc/exports?

question2: How many filesystems are supported in NFS? For example. the filesystem in the server is ext2 and your system (client) has ext3 filesystem? Can we mount files in server?

question3: I am getting error message in Samba Server.

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

I have tried the command in /etc/samba/smb.comf

hosts allow= *.example.com

I am getting the above error message when I try to acces the samba share.

But if i use hosts allow= .example.com

I am not getting any error message. We know that the use of this wildcard character * as all in Linux.
Why we are getting this error message?

Default Samba Error

*.example.com is nothing but .example.com
so in case of SAMBA it doent understand what is *.example.com and its standerd format is .example.com, which is u used .
