 * From: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

 *     We want all the workstations to operate without having to create
 *     a root environment for each one, so the server needs to export
 *     / and /usr read-only to all of the diskless workstations.  Or,
 *     if the server is security concious, it might make a *single* root
 *     environment and export that as root, read-only to all the diskless
 *     workstations.

I think most of the complications are coming from trying to do the
former, which is not a good idea to begin with.  Stick to the latter
and I suspect the problem will be much easier to solve.

 * 	* The workstations cannot simply run the server's /etc configuration
 * 	  scripts

Things like this, for instance.
