Hello everyone,

First off, let me say I'm sorry I sent out this NFS-server posting to the
alert list. This is not the way I intend to do things; I was just up to my
ears in over a thousand of majordomo mails so I failed to notice. 

I checked out the nfs stuff today, and now I'm not so sure that this has
actually been fixed already. I poked around a couple of FTP sites, and the
newest version of the server I found was version 2.0 of dec 93. Another
indication no-one has actually done this is that the setfsuid call is
not part of libc-4.5.27.

I'll see if I can put together a patch tonight for this and upload a
new server to some site. I'll also put in the root_squash fix posted
recently. While we're at it, are there any other known holes?

Regards,
Olaf
