	I would like to set up my FreeBSD machine so that I can access
all the filesystems on it from a reomte machine via an automounter.
I other woreds, I have 3 filesystems / , /usr. and /var. I would
like then all to appear on the remote machine as /net/mach_name/....

	So for instance I could do a cd to /net/machine_name/usr/spool
and be in that directory on the FreeBSD machine. Linux dose this by default
if you export / you get all the filesystems mounted on it exported as
one big filesyste,.

	I thought that I could do something like this with the -alldirs
option in /etc/exports, but it doesn't seem to wokr the way I thought it
would. Am I using this incorectly ? If so how can I acheive the desired
result ?

	BTW the remote machine in this case is an HP 9000/735 with
HPUX 10.10. Is the problem on the HP end perhaps ?
