I've recently reclaimed a Gentoo server and turned it into a FreeBSD
6.2-RELEASE system (::sounds of cheering::).

This is our file server, using NFS, and I had a question about /etc/exports:

We have two subnets we export to--let's call them 127.0.1.0/255 and
10.0.5.0/255:

# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
/u2 -alldirs -maproot=root important1.domain.com important2.domain.com
/u2/opt/portage -maproot=root -alldirs -network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/u2/opt/portage -maproot=root -alldirs -network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/u2 -alldirs -network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/u2 -alldirs -network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/usr -network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/usr -network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

Now, this configuration does not work. I'm curious how to fix it--the logs
say:

Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: can't change attributes for /u2
Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: bad exports list line /u2 -alldirs
-network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: can't change attributes for /u2
Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: bad exports list line /u2 -alldirs
-network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

One thing to note is that important1.domain.com and important2.domain.com
are within the scope of 127.0.0.0/255.

Granted, this wasn't an issue in Linux--I used to have machines listed by
name (*.sub.olddomain.com), and had the exceptions listed with the
no_root_squash parameter.

So, basically.. what am I missing? :-/ Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Google & man 5 exports have not been my friends today :-/

Thanks in advance!
Best,
--Glenn
