Welcome to what I feel is the ugliest daemon in the NetBSD distribution...

Some random experiences:

o You cannot export points with differing credentials
(user/group/netmask/...) from one filesystem
o error messages are meaningless or misleading
o even 'mountd -d' spits half of the error messages to syslog instead of stderr

I've literally wasted days on this bastard.  =8(

Try and err, and good luck to you...
