As far as I understand it, CONFIG_NFSD_SUN (CNS) affects the export of local mount points. Let me explain: If you have CNS enabled (disabled), your /usr lies on a sep. fs and you export /usr, then the NFS client gets to see the files that are masked so to speak by mounting /usr, i.e. the files that reside in /usr *prior* to mounting the real /usr onto it. If you have CNS disabled (enabled), then the NFS client gets to see the fs as the local user sees it.
Hope that was right :-)
