>Description:
Checking of /etc/exports in /etc/security (check_nfs) is not done correctly.
Several things are wrongly assumed:
- only one directory can be specified per entry
- logical lines are physical lines
- the host set starts with a minus sign (-)
But the following is true:
- several directories can be may be specified per entry
- lines can be continued using \ because src/usr.sbin/mountd/mountd.c,
line 1043, read /etc/exports using fparseln(3).
- the host set can be specified as -network=... -mask=...
>How-To-Repeat:
An /etc/exports entry as follows:
/a/directory /another/dir \
-ro -maproot=nobody:nobody -network=1.2.3.4 -mask=255.255.255.0
is syntactically correct and doen't export the directories globally, but
results in the following text being output during /etc/security execution:
Checking for globally exported file systems.
File system -ro globally exported, read-write.
