Add an NFS rule to add a Host Name for the rule. Rules are added to specify the hosts
that are allowed to access Shares using NFS. Use this table to add NFS rules to specify access for
hosts. For example, *.cs.foo.com matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.com. To export a Share to
all hosts on an IP address or local network simultaneously, specify an IP address and netmask pair
as address/netmask where the netmask can be in dotted-decimal format, or as a contiguous mask
length. For example, either /255.255.252.0 or /22 will result in identical local networks.

to write to that Share. Use
