My /etc/exports file is empty.  I have set the sharenfs property to
'YES" on the /usr/obj and /usr/src data sets.  The ZFS filesystem
handles NFS shares internally from the documenation.  In any event,
this is how my system has successfuly been doing NFS for nearly 2
years without any issues.  A client should be able to read and not
write to both /usr/src and /usr/obj to be able to installworld and
installkernel and have all mergemaster writes confined to a local
/var/tmp/temproot.

My /etc/rc.conf doesn't have any flags for mountd.
It is only a "YES" to enable.
