>Environment:

	I am using FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE ( just cvsupped ) in order to boot
	a diskless SUN Sparc IPX for NetBSD installation.
	So I need to export a SWAP space with the -alldirs options
	and the -r option of mountd.

>Description:

	When the -alldirs options is set, mountd -r cannot export the
	directory.
	It syslog: Could not remount "%s" and Bad export list line "%s"  
	Someone has already reported a similar problem when exporting
	an EXT2FS see PR# kern/3879

>How-To-Repeat:

	Just put /home -alldirs in your /etc/exports file for example
	and issue a killall -HUP mountd

>Fix:
	
	I made a Quick and Dirty Kludge (QDK), I simply remove the test in 
	mountd.c producing the error message and return(1) ...

	And i was able to boot & swap diskless and install NetBSD.

	NOTE: -alldirs just work as expected in my brand new NetBSD :-)

	Thank's again & again for your wonderfull work !
