Ok sorry for my non-well formed question. /etc/exports line looks like this (names and faces have been changed)
/ 242.21.5.133 (rw,root_squash,map_daemon) In this example I have exported the root directory of the server to the machine with the given ip, thats right...right. On the client I say mount 242.21.5.133:/ /mntpnt when I cd to /mntpnt/var/spool/mail and say ls the directory is empty. On the server /var/spool/mail is full of files. I probally should mention that I have home mounted with out problem and followed the same steps in both cases.
