Hello Bill,
Thanks for the tip. It is a little bit unintuive though. How about automatically revoking all exports when the last kernel nfsd daemon is killed (this would happen during shutdown)? I doubt that it would be too much code/kernel bloat, and it would prevent some surprises (especially for linux machines that don't use SYSV style startup scripts where the concept of a 'service stop' is natural, but BSD style scripts instead)
