samba - Jan 2003 - Exporting a samba mount]

Anyone have experience with exporting to other Linux boxes a Windows 
share mounted on one Linux box?

I have successfully mounted the Windows share on the Linux server box, 
but when I edit /etc/exports to include the new mount and run exportfs, 
I get error messages regarding the new export.  For example, if I add 
this line to /etc/exports:

/mnt/windows_share        somebox(rw)

I will get the following error when running exportfs:

somebox:/mnt/windows_share: Invalid argument

I do have other NFS exports from native local filesystems working just fine!

Thanks in advance!

I am doing this without error. The only thing I can think of - and do not know
if this matters - do you have smbfs compiled into the kernel of the linux server
trying to export the share?

Likely. Hey poking around today, I did a 'man 5 /etc/exports'. Do this
yourself and look at the nohide param. Can that help you?
