When setting up NFS ( 386ix) with the sysadm scripts, the exportnfs 
menu selection lists available file systems for exporting and 
complains if a directory is entered instead of a filesystem name.  
When I enter a directory ( not a file system) in /etc/exports, mount 
will complain and not mount it.  The manual example says that one may 
export and mount /usr/bin but the scripts will only accept /usr (a 
file system).  

I'd like to export /u/local on one machine and mount it to /usr/local.  

Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance!
