You said to make sure there is a blank line at the end of the file. Is that essential or just a good idea?
Some programs which read the files in /etc expect a blank line at the end (to the extent of failing to run) and others don't seem to care. It doesn't harm to make sure it's there and avoid the problem. /etc/exportfs can be particularly sensitive to whitespace problems IME but as ever YMMV.
Yea. Everything works. I sincerely appreciate your hanging in there with what must sound like a bunch of stupid questions.
