# You should only export the filesystem once, giving the -alldirs

This is broken.  You should be able to have finer-grained control
than this.

For the record, I have this in my /etc/exports file:

/holt		-alldirs -maproot=0 starjumper localhost starwolf necromancer
/var/mail	-maproot=0 starjumper localhost starwolf
/usr/share	-maproot=0 starjumper localhost starwolf
/export/src	-maproot=0 starjumper localhost starwolf
/export/X11	-maproot=0 starjumper localhost starwolf
/hsfs		-alldirs -maproot=0 -ro

And it works just fine (no kibitzing regarding the maproot stuff -- I have
it this way for a reason, so go away).

[/var/mail is about to go away because of data corruption across NFS with
 softdeps enabled, and tcp NFS panics my system last I checked (I should
 check again)...]

So I don't get why it wouldn't work for you, Bruce, and I understand
your bewilderment -- I'd wonder, too!

# /usr/export -maproot=root -alldirs testme.bluefeathertech.com
# 
# If /usr/export isn't its own filesystem, do this instead:
# 
# /usr -maproot=root -alldirs testme.bluefeathertech.com

Again, you shouldn't have to do this.  It's a bug which should probably
be send-pr'd.
