> 4. do a tcpdump while trying to mount the export from a client
	Tried it but there's too much other traffic going on, and I still have 
to get to know
	this tool better (more research)... nifty tool!
	anyways, if I cannot see the exports on the local machine, i think 
that it surely
	wouldn't show on the clients... but then I don't know the mysterious 
ways of the unix!
