        Well, the result is that I can't do this in any way, although
        I can do "share /opt/dir1" and "share /opt/dir2" without any problems
        (of course dir1 and dir2 are subdirs of /opt which is the root
        of this fs).
        
        The existing solution is as was afraid of and which I already knew:

        share -F nfs -o rw=client1,ro=client2 /opt

        and on client2 mount server:/opt/idl.

        Many people missed the point because this is not I wanted.
        I want to share only needed resources and not to let clients mount
        dirs which they not need.

        Another soulution is to explicitly share each sub-directory
        component :-(((

        My real situation is: /usr/local (on Sol2.3 server) is shared by all
        Solaris 2.3 clients. I want to create /usr/local/share subdir which
        will contain platform independent data (like TeX fonts etc.) and
        will be shared not only by all Solaris clients, but also by Ultrix,
        Linux etc. Unfortunately, if I want to have whole /usr/local on Solaris
        machine, my only choice is to share /usr/local for every client.
        Hmm, I will better put /usr/local/share to Ultrix box,
        it has no problem with exporting subdirs of exported dir.
        
        Great thanks for their comments and suggestions go to:
