There are several improvements that I need to be made to kexportfs IMHO.
1. The Clients should be stored in xtab as IP numbers. Right now kmountd can hang for a long time on start-up trying to resolve names. It calls auth_init before it forks. I don't see any down side to this, but I can be myopic at times.
2. If the kernel rejects an export kexportfs still makes an entry in the xtab file. This would not be a problem except that the order that kmountd will mount these after a reboot is not clear.
3. The command `kexport -u bob:/usr' should unexport bob.site.net if that is what `bob' resolves to. I think that fixing 1. above will fix this problem as well. Since all lookups can be done by IP.
