The only parameters in /etc/exports at NFS 2.1 is the file system and an
optional list of remote systems which can mount that file system.
I gather that NFS 2.2 will have all the options that other NFS's have
had for quite a while, and that root access into/out of the Apollo will
finally work. The last I heard, NFS 2.2 will be released next fall sometime.
