/source/bsd-4.3/common/usr.etc/rpc.mountd/rpc.mountd.c,
in the function imposter():
There are two different uses of the function svcerr_weakauth(); the
second has an extra argument.
There's also some confusion here about return values; if a non-zero
value is returned, svcerr_weakauth() is called by the caller and the
connection is rejected.
Someone should examine this code; I suspect the svcerr_ calls in
imposter() want to set some error code in the transport structure, and
let the caller reflect the error to the network client.
