I have just verified that Olaf's patches to the NFS server also work
fine using the libc-based setfsuid() and setfsgid() calls (he provided
an assembly-based set of these calls in his patch for those not running
bleeding-edge libc's).  I used the ELF gcc-2.6.4-950218 and libc-4.6.29
for this...a.out should be fine too then, I expect (though have not
verified).

Quick note (so people don't think that I've gone daft): My last post
mentioned my adding a proper entry to the fstab to set NFS access--I of
course meant /etc/exports.  That was an eyes-glazed-over-from-hacking
typo...
