Historically there was a user-space NFS-daemon (and can very probably be found via Google today). Actually there are stories about people using it because if you export filesystems via a user-space NFS daemon, you can change the mounting below without affecting the clients for NFS-v3. But the kernel has a NFS-server since years and all (somewhat common) distributions use it per default. Bernd -- Bernd Petrovitsch Email : be...@petrovitsch.priv.at LUGA : http://www.luga.at
