I'm not familiar with NFS, but believe that an export will not traverse filesystems. If you think about it, this is a good thing. Imagine a filesystem which includes as a subdirectory an NFS mounted filesystem which includes as a subdirectory an NFS mounted filesystem which includes as a subdirectory an NFS mounted filesystem which includes as a subdirectory an NFS mounted filesystem which includes as a subdirectory an NFS mounted filesystem.... And you decide to do a 'find /net/nfs' on this.... Check NFS docs for settings. I believe you'll have to do something different to get the SMB share exported asa well. -- Karsten M.
