SubjectRe: kernel space nfsd
Date
From
It is my understanding that the latest versions of knfsd will let
you export directory trees in a manner simular to user space NFS.
Look for the `nohide' export option.

You should note that using this option is likely to make NFS even
more insecure than normal.
