Oh, right, sorry. It's been over 2 years since I've touched Solaris.
Guess I'm as rusty as Ben is on this one. Of course, we both knew
the file was dfstab, so we could do a 'locate dfstab' and find it,
right ;) (that was sarcastic, I know, I need to use
'find /etc -name dfstab' if I really want to find it :)

I'd say so :) And once again, you've pointed out another area where
I was confused (there are oh, so many :)
It's /etc/vfstab that has the 2 extra fields, not dfstab. The
dfstab, as you mentioned, has the 'share' commands, making dfstab
more of a shell script than an exports file. Another thing I don't
quite get the logic of. /etc/exports and exportfs always worked just
fine for me under every other version of UNIX.
