Alright. I'm having an interesting problem which I hope is my own bloody
fault (I'm really not in the mood to scream today), but i'm having problems
with the server side of NFS under FreeBSD 2.0.

I've turned on NFS CLIENT and NFS server in net start, and I'm sure NFS is
in my kernel...

However, when I generate an /etc/exports file, then run a showmount -e on
the machine, I usually see only the first directly in the exports file,
and in checking console messages (or /var/log/messages), its griping about
me having a bad file format. However, i've been over this at least a hundred
times on 3 different 2.0 boxes. I've tried to have export files like the
following...

/usr/local
/usr/share


------ Try #2

/usr/local -root=0
/usr/share -root=0


---- Try #3
/usr/local -maproot=root:wheel
/usr/share -maproot=root:wheel

And several others. Could someone please send me a fix. Also, if someone
could send me a sample netgroup file, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
