Folks,

Thanks for your help - adding -alldirs suddenly brought everything into
life, and relegated to the dustbin of dreams the longest printer cable in
history. I've had another look at rpc.pcnfsd (both the 1.2D, and -current
versions), via ktrace -tci -i, and still not seen my /etc/pcnfsd.conf
loaded in anywhere, tho.

Still - the defaults work just fine, and compiling in new ones is easy
enough.

Dan.
