   Maybe we should also fix rpc.mountd to convert non-FQDN's names
   before comparing.  [btw, I don't think our default set-up turns on ip
   address checking in rpc.mountd]

That would be a good idea.  [Our default setup actually does turn on
address checking; try mounting thor:/site from LCS land sometime]

   Where is 'spoofhost' in the manual page?

It isn't documented, since it can be used to drive a Mack truck through
the Media Lab's, the AI lab's and LCS's ``security''.  (Amusing side
note: they used to keep 6.044 exams NFS accessible on
theory.lcs.mit.edu)
