I am running on LM 6.1, so your mileage may vary.

If you are going to be consistent with Warner Bros. naming conventions
(Anyone know the RFC :-) that should be "elmer".

Hmmm, I'd have done those as "192.168.2.*", or provided the exact IP
addresses. One of mine looks like:
ccurley@charlesc $ cat /etc/exports
/mnt/cdrom 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(ro)
This one also works:
root@tester # cat /etc/exports
/ charlesc(no_root_squash)

It may use /var/lib/nfs/xtab, but I've never heard of it until now. I edit
/etc/exports. It looks like nfs uses /var/lib/nfs/xtab to store
information about nfs mount points.

I usually just use "exportfs" with no options.

Should not be necessary.
