So what do you mean: That FreeBSD is rarely used as an NFS server for other FreeBSD machines, or that /usr/local is rarely used for sharing common binaries, libraries, includes, etc. among several FreeBSD machines via NFS ? Or, to put it another way, which directory should be used for NFS exporting, if not /usr/local? Maybe /opt? :-) -- Sebastian Lederer lederer@bonn-online.com
