 |I'm trying to setup my box to be an NFS server.  The other machines on
 |the network are running Solaris and using the automounter.
 |
 |I wanted to do something like:
 |	/exports/disk1 	-alldirs
 |
 |so that my clients could mount anything below that too.  When mountd
 |starts up it complains about the syntax in that line.  Check the man
 |page and the short descriptions at the top of /etc/exports and it looks
 |like I have the syntax correct.
 |
 |Anyone have any ideas what I might have messed up?

Re exports(5), you need to specify the second component of the entry.  The
first specifies what to export.  The second says how/to-whom it's exported.
E.g.:

     /exports/disk1 -alldirs -network 192.168.40 -mask 255.255.255.0
