Exporting Directories with NFS
Mac OS X 10.1 (and earlier versions of Mac OS X) stored NFS exports in the /exports portion of the NetInfo directory. As of Mac OS X 10.2, however, you can use the /etc/exports file. For example, the following line exports the /Users directory to two hosts (192.168.0.134 and 192.168.0.106):
/Users -ro -mapall=nobody 192.168.0.134 192.168.0.106
