I'm having a dumb problem with mountd. Here's my /etc/exports file: /usr/netboot/netbsd -alldirs -maproot=root gort.rfnet.sfu.ca When I run "mountd -r" I see the following on the console: Jul 23 20:26:18 pokey mountd[368]: Could not remount /usr/netboot/netbsd: Invalid argument Jul 23 20:26:18 pokey mountd[368]: Bad exports list line /usr/netboot/netbsd -alldirs -maproot The man page seems to indicate that -alldirs is a valid option. I need this to allow a swapfile in the exported directory to be accessible. Even just -alldirs by itself gives "invalid argument". Help! Kevin -- Kevin McQuiggin VE7ZD mcquiggi@sfu.ca
