Add the directory to exports and HUP mountd. (I think that in the
kernel the exports are at a filesystem level, so while you can
export any directory a naughty client can do "cd ../../../.." and
find their way back up to the top of the exported filesystem. Most
people's NFS clients won't allow you to do this, but you could
write your own client to do it).
