- While netgroups may be specified in access, it is regrettably not possible
- to specify them after root=.
- Have a look at exports(5): ``client'' means that either a hostname or
- netgroup may be specified, ``hostname'' means hostnames only are valid.
- IMHO, exportfs should be rewritten to allow netgroups also be specified
- in root and rw.
