remount file-system mount change?

Any `mountd` gurus,

This kind of entry in /etc/exports used to let anybody in
the world read/write/delete from the file-system identified.

#/etc/exports
/scratch *(rw,no_root_squash)

I don't know when it stopped working, but now I have to put in
individual host-names to allow access.

Is this part of some new 'security' thing or is it a bug? If it's
part of some new security thing, how do I reasonably enter the
IP addresses of a few hundred unknown lap-tops and other dynamic
systems?

If it's a bug, some more information is that from host 'foo' it is
no longer possible to do:

mount foo:/scratch /mnt

...regardless of whatever is in /etc/exports, including 'localhost'
or specific IP addresses. I can't network-mount a host onto itself
anymore. This was useful to see what a remote-host would encounter
with, for instance, sym-links.

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
