Wildcards in /etc/exports

[Steve Miller]

We hacked this up locally a while ago, for SunOS 3.2.  The exports file on
our Sun-3 fileserver looks like (with some names changed to protect the
innocent):

	/someplace        .*\.cs\.umd\.edu

I can make the diffs available, if there is interest.  I would certainly
like to see this sort of feature migrated into the mainline SunOS
releases; it's one less hack for me to put back in each time...

(Any sort of netgroup stuff isn't an option, as we don't engage in the YP
heresy.)

I also agree that being able to specify multiple lines (with multiple
access lists and permissions) for a given filesystem would be a win.  It
would make /etc/exports more readable, for one thing.
