# Look at what a host is exporting to determine what we can mount.
# This is very simple, but it appears to work surprisingly well

# Showmount comes in a number of names and varieties.  "showmount" is
# typically an older version which accepts the '--no-headers' flag

# which both accepts and acts on the '--no-headers' flag.
#SHOWMOUNT="kshowmount --no-headers -e $key"
#SHOWMOUNT="showmount -e $key | tail -n +2"
