Subject: [PATCH] manpage: add info about IPv6 configuration to exports(5)
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 15:20:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1308597604-1198-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> (raw)
The parts of the exports(5) manpage that discuss IP addressing neglect
IPv6 configuration. Update to include info on how to export to IPv6
subnets and addresses, and add a line demonstrating that to the EXAMPLE
section.
