Will the new server not mix up read-only exports? My current nfsd does.
This means I have to export all file systems read/write (or probably
all read-only, but I cannot do that), because otherwise some file systems
are read-write, and some are read-only, but you cannot predict which will
be which. It changes over time, too.

This is a rather current version of Slackware (off the server, perhaps
2 months or 4 in the run).

This message was not intended for the list (AFAICT), but rather as a
reply to the authors of the ALERT posting regarding the NFS server.  If
you have a reply for this question though, please also CC it to the
fellow above (David Kastrup); he's not a member of this mailing list.

Sorry about that--I hit my "approve" key-sequence on the wrong
message...

--Up.

P.S. OK Olaf, we're even.  :)~
