Its goal is to automatically mount the FS on YOUR client machine so that the command remotely executed by "on" is executed in your file environment, not that of the remote server. >>: if you export / you get all the filesystems mounted on it exported as >>: one big filesyste,. And showing all FSes as a large one is sometimes useful, but is not strictly NFS-compliant. However, it is tempting to do so: our own NFS rewrites did just that too. >>You need to export the individual physical mount points, and mount each >>of these from the remote machine.

Actually, defining 3 entries in /etc/exports will be your solution. Frederic G. MARAND Agorus SA / OSI SARL Frederic.Marand@osinet.fr
