Does an NFS export with sec=krb5 *require* that the parent directory also be exported with sec=krb5?

http://serverfault.com – I copied somebody's NFS server/client setup verbatim and am having trouble making sense of what's going on with it. This is the /etc/exports: /export *(rw,fsid=0,crossmnt,insecure,async,no_subtree_check,sec=krb5p:krb5i:krb5) /export/home *(rw,insecure,async,no_subtree_check,sec=krb5p:krb5i:krb5) Client machines use autofs to mount user home directories on demand. Here's auto.home: * -fstype=nfs4,rw,soft,sec=krb5 192.168.0.2:/home/& This works and works well. Still, exporting /export seems unnecessary so I commented that line out of the server config. Now automounting fails on (HowTos)
