WebNFS exports strictly according to the spec (RFC 2054 and RFC 2055) can
be done with the
.Fl public
flag. However, this flag in itself allows r/w access to all files in
the filesystem, not requiring reserved ports and not remapping uids. It
is only provided to conform to the spec, and should normally not be used.
For a WebNFS export,
use the
.Fl webnfs
flag, which implies
.Fl public ,
.Sm off
.Fl mapall No = Sy nobody
.Sm on
and
.Fl ro .
.Pp
A
.Sm off
.Fl index No = Sy file
.Sm off
option can be used to specify a file whose handle will be returned if
a directory is looked up using the public filehandle (WebNFS). This
is to mimic the behavior of URLs. If no
.Fl index
option is specified, a directory filehandle will be returned as usual.
The
.Fl index
option only makes sense in combination with the
.Fl public
or
.Fl webnfs
flags.

The third component of a line specifies the host set to which the line applies.
The set may be specified in three ways.
The first way is to list the host name(s) separated by white space.
