- the rootmap option works like no_root_squash?

        A description of what ``no_root_squash'' does would have
helped us BSD-heads...  Oh well, I found the description using
FreeBSD's manual page engine, looking at the RedHat 7.1 manual
pages.

        Basically, it's what the commercial OS's list as the
``root=<hostname>'' option, and the BSD sources list as
``-maproot=<user>''.

        So, you want to add ``-maproot=root'' to the filesystem
entry in the exports file on your BSD servers.

                I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.
