Hi Steinar,

you should have a look at the german "man exports" (on sid).

You are right it is not on
/usr/share/man/man5/exports.5.gz (nfs-kernel-server)
but it is on
/usr/share/man/de/man5/exports.5.gz (manpages-de)
...

Btw. I think it does not matter if the manpage mentions this
configuration option. It's in the source, so the english manpage should
be updated.

And if you read the source you can see that the programmer wanted to
support multiple ranges but made mistake while implementing it.
See parsesquash() and lines 587-594 in parseopts() in
"support/nfs/exports.c" which is part of the nfs-utils source package.


Best Regards
Per
