i turned on debugging in mountd, and this is what i got...

Dec  1 14:42:27 chimay mountd[1380]: fh_find: psi=2013272330... found '/export/client/root', fd=-1
Dec  1 14:42:27 chimay mountd[1380]: mountproc_mnt_1 [1 69/12/31 16:00:00  0.0]
^I/usr/export/swap

there were some others, but these looked important.  it exports root just
fine, but not swap.  what is the ^I in front of the path?  could
that be the problem?

thanx
