Strange - it's worked fine for years here, as long as you fix rc
stuff ;-) Infact, it works OK if you don't fix rc stuff, as long
as you make all the mounts backgroundable.

(We've used NFS heavily for years, and never had enough cash to be
able to group machines into NFS servers and NFS clients. If you
want all your machines to be available to all your users, and you
share home directories then to avoid cycles in your NFS graph you
have to have one NFS server).
