Specifically it appears that these lines would be valid in /etc/exports: /usr /usr/local -maproot=0:10 friends /usr -maproot=daemon grumpy.cis.uoguelph.ca 131.104.48.16 /usr -ro -mapall=nobody Since only one line, per file system, is allowed in /etc/exports, this man page might confuse users: It confused me. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Someone should rewrite the exports(5) man page to reflect the reality of FreeBSD-STABLE. If I thought I was qualified, I would volunteer myself. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
