I've been trying to add a subnet as a member of a netgroup used in an export policy rule and the hosts in the subnet still do not have access. I've tried both forms of subnet spec (a.b.c.d/m and a.b.c.d/w.x.y.z) and neither seem to work. I can't find any documentation that states that this isn't allowed, nor can I find any that states that it is. Please advise as to if this is possible or not. If it is, it will greatly simplify the administration of access to filesystems for one of our primary applications. We really don't want to have to add new export policy rules to each impacted filesystem, then have to track them all back down later when we need to update the subnet list, that'd be a ton of overhead and quite error prone. Please advise as whether or not this is possible. We are using netgroups serviced from LDAP.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
