Interesting.  I've always viewed usr EXCEPT for local this way.  In 
fact, on most of my boxes I create a seperate mount point for /usr/local 
so it's easier to backup and maintain, and it doesn't fill up the /usr 
directory.

Asking for everything in a directory with the name local in it to be 
shared is kind of counter intuitive to me.
