It is definitely true that devsrv, devtls, and devssl cannot have fd's passed to them by remote systems. I agree that I screwed up when I copied the devsrv semantics into devtls and devssl. It's convenient but not distributable. In fact, now that I think of it, its probably a security hole since exportfs doesn't really know what's going on under it and you can hijack its fd's through #D, #s, and #a. Proof that a useful hack is still a hack and probably a bad idea.
