  I am mounting my BSD filesystems onto my 486 OS/2 box for ease of access 
(I've got one more computer than monitor).  Whenever I run any secutiry check 
on the BSD system, it tells me that my filesystem is exported globally 
read-write.  I want it read-write, but not global.  Here is a sample of my 
/etc/exports file:

/usr	-maproot=0:0	193.5.1.2

  According to the man pages, this should export the /usr filesystem to 
193.5.1.2 with that host mapped as root.  Is there something I'm missing in 
order to limit the exportation?
