Here's the relevant bits:

Defender's NFS mounts from /etc/fstab:

starwolf:/usr/share /usr/share nfs rw		0 0
starwolf:/export/X11 /usr/X11 nfs rw		0 0
starwolf:/export/local /usr/local nfs rw		0 0
starwolf:/usr/src /usr/src nfs rw		0 0
starwolf:/holt /holt nfs rw,nosuid	0 0
starwolf:/var/mail /var/mail nfs rw,nosuid	0 0

Starwolf's /etc/fstab (decommented and compressed):

/dev/sd3a / 			ffs 	rw,async 		1	1
/dev/sd3d /var			ffs 	rw,async 		1	2
/dev/sd1a /usr			ffs 	rw,async 		6 2

# : I have stopped and started nfsd on the server, nfsiod on the client and
# : mountd on the server several times, and to no avail.  Exporting /var
# : by itself does no good.
# 
# Troubleshooting questions:
# 
# - Does exporting /var *work*?

It appears to.  Mountd does not complain.

# 
# - If /var is a separate partition, does exporting /var -alldirs work?

Yes, but I should not have to do this.  /etc/exports is a control file;
I'd like to have a little more control of what I'm exporting.
 
# - Does exporting /var/mail as the *first* line of /etc/exports work?

Yes, but then /usr/share, /export/X11 and /export/local don't work.

# - Is /usr/src/local a separate partition as defined by fstab?

Yes.  See above.
