This includes putting IPv6 addresses in /etc/exports for the -network flag. Also, any network address can now be followed by an optional /prefix instead of using -netmask. Thus, instead of: /foo -network 192.168.0.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 you can now do: /foo -network 192.168.0.0/24 You can also do this now for IPv6: /foo -network 1:2:3:4::/64 The exports(5) manpage was never updated to document this however and I only found out when I went to look at the code. I'm actually using IPv6 and /prefix on a box running 6.3, but have verified that HEAD's exports(5) is still missing the data. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
