Perhaps these can make it into the nice hypertext manual that is being put together on freebsd.org. You MUST run mountd with the -n option so that it will correctly honour mount requests from PCNFSD. You should also add the -alldirs option to lines in your /etc/exports files so that you can arbitrarily mount any directories below the file system you chose to export. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects Dataradio Inc. 200-5500 Royalmount Ave. TEL: +1 514 737 0020 Town of Mount Royal, QC, CANADA H4P 1H7 FAX: +1 514 737 7883 http://www.dataradio.com Email: awebster@dataradio.com
