I think Uwash works by exporting the entire file system on the server
to the clients, without restrictions.

A NAMESPACE output from a UWash server looks something like:

NAMESPACE (("/" "/") ...) ...)

Uwash doesn't seem to come with any configuration file (nor
documentation for that matter) so I don't think one can easily change
this behaviour, and supposedly this is a "feature". Sigh.
