I agree.

Yes, but they're not.
In utils/mountd/auth.c, around line 124, we find the following snippet of code.
My annotations ought to be obvious...
/* When we change path for authentication,
we need to put the original path back.
Otherwise, rmtab will be wrong. */
// To which I say 'Nah, Bollocks'. DW.
// strncpy(exp->m_export.m_path, path,
// sizeof (exp->m_export.m_path) - 1);
I'm just compiling it as you see it above, to see what happens.
HJ, what was the original reason for doing this? Was it done before we allowed
mounting of subdirectories, and just overlooked later, or is there still a
reason for doing it?
