Date: 18 Feb 1996 19:28:10 -0800 Organization: QUALCOMM, Incorporated; San Diego, CA, USA Lines: 16 Message-ID: <4g8qoa$k5p@qualcomm.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: nala.qualcomm.com in my /etc/exports file, i put in 2 lines to test out nfs between two freebsd boxes. they are: /usr -alldirs /var -alldirs when i telnet to my other freebsd box and type: mount host:/usr /usr1, i'm able to mount my "host"'s /usr as /usr1 on my box. Now when I replace the usr's and put in var's, I cannot mount /var off of my remote host. Anybody know why? It's the same line as /usr, but I get permission denieds. TIA. Elya.
