That's what I have thought also. But this line gives me:

Feb  5 07:45:22 3D:bali mountd[5759]: Could not remount /var/spool/pcnfs: Invalid argument
Feb  5 07:45:22 3D:bali mountd[5759]: Bad exports list line /var/spool/pcnfs -alldirs

And when reading the manual page:

     pace.  The second is to specify the pathname of the root of the filesys-
     tem followed by the -alldirs flag; this form allows the host(s) to mount

I have to specify the root of the filesystem.
So I would have to use

/var	-alldirs

which is NOT what I want. The PCs should not be able to mount
the whole /var FS.
