Help is appreciated. Isn't it possible that there is only the /home filesystem and the /home/business and /home/resell are not separate filesystems but just subdirectories? If so, the command above "seems" (I have not tested) to export /home - and with the second line, you are instructing it to reexport it. It would be real good if you could export any directory you like and be not limited to mountpoints, as the situation seems to be. Sander > > Neal Westfall > nwestfal@odc.net > >
