However, this annoyed me so much, that I have hacked mountd so that -alldirs applies always and works also if the exported mount point is not the root of a filesystem. I need this, because I have to export /var/spool/pcnfs and all of its subdirectories and don't want to make it a filesystem of its own... I don't know why this is different in FreeBSD, but now it works as I know it from IRIX 5.3, SunOS 4.1.3, Linux :-), HP-UX 9 and HP-UX 10. -Andre
