2. Options

For each path you export, you can specify a list of hosts and a set of options associated with these hosts. If more than one host shares the same option set, you can enter them on the line, using the comma as the separator.

Each option is presented with a checkbox. They are:

• May write Writing to this directory is allowed for this client.
• Root privilege Without this option, all requests from user ID 0 (root) on the client are mapped to uid NOBODY_UID (a compile-time option) on the server. Unless you have full trust in the client security, don't give away this option.
• Translate symbolic links Convert absolute symbolic links (where the link's contents starts with a slash) into relative links by prepending the necessary number of ../'s to get from the directory containing the link to the root on the server. (This has subtle, perhaps questionable, semantics when the file hierarchy is not mounted at its root.)
• Request access from secure port Connections will be only accepted if they originate from a secure port on the client.
