        Dear Netlanders:

        Does anyone know the line length limit of a line in the /etc/exports
file?  We are using NSF and I export directories to several workstations
(ULTRIX 3.1 on VAXstation 3100s).  Now that the workstations are using BIND, 
the exports file "wants" the fully-qualified name of the workstation (ie.  
xxxx.yyyy.zzzz.EDU, or something like that). Some of these names are very long
and I am worried about running into length restrictions when more workstations
are added to the exports file.  

        Any suggestions are appreciated.

        Thanks in advance,

        Tom Wallis
