BSD Unix doesn't have any directory sharing capability built in.  Are you
talking about BSD + NFS?  If so, your description of dfshares sounds like
"showmount -e", which lists all the directories that are exported.  Other
options to showmount let you see which directories have actually be mounted
by remote hosts.
