/var on the client is not a share; it's part of the local
filesystem, mounted via / .

slaniel at BlackThought:~$ sudo mount /var/log/apache
mount: mount point /var/log/apache does not exist

Even though /etc/fstab on the client reads, in relevant
part,

192.168.1.100:/var/log/apache	/var/log/apache	nfs	users,exec,ro,auto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192

and /etc/exports on the server reads

/var/log/apache 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,async)

I thought that it might be a permissions issue, because
/var/log/apache on the server has the following permissions:

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2004-08-01 06:28 /var/log/apache/

But that shouldn't make a difference, should it?
