Hi all, there is probably an answer to this question in the online docs or man pages, but I've yet to find it, so here goes... I'm trying to export my /usr/ports directory, but when I attempt to put /usr/ports in my exports file, mountd sends an error to syslog saying that the entry is invalid because it "can't change permissions on /usr/ports". Here is the offending line from /etc/exports: /usr/ports -maproot=0,ro server # (server is my server's hostname) And here are the permissions for /usr/ports: drwxr-xr-x root wheel /usr/ports I can get /usr/src and /usr/obj to export fine, the only difference being that a) they are mounted rw and not ro, and b) their permissions are as follows: drwxr-xr-x bin bin /usr/src #same for /usr/obj I would like to know both a solution and the reason why I am getting this message. Also, I am not subscribed to this list, so please cc: any replies directly to me. Thanks.
