# 220981 23-Apr-2011 rmacklem

Patch the mountd and nfsd man pages to reflect the recent changes
done by r220980 to deprecate the -e option and add the -o option.
This is a content change for both man pages.


# 220875 19-Apr-2011 rmacklem

# 192993 28-May-2009 rmacklem

Change the "-4" argument for nfsd and mountd to "-e" to avoid
confusion, since it does not refer to IPv4 nor NFSv4, but to
running the experimental server instead of the regular one.

Approved by: kib (mentor)


# 192674 23-May-2009 rmacklem

Modify nfsd.c to add support for the experimental nfs server.
This includes the addition of a new flag "-4" that will force
use of the experimental server with nfsv4 support in it. This
commit also adds two new man pages to the repository that are
NFSv4 specific. One describes the file used by the server to
restart nfsv4 services safely. The other is a brief overview
of nfsv4 and its setup.

Add a cross reference to exports(5). While exports is not directly
tied to nfsd(8), exports is the configuration file users will most
likely need to configure when dealing with a NFS server.

# 74462 19-Mar-2001 alfred

Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.

Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.

Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
into BSD socket calls.

This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
only made available after this porting effort was underway).

The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
1999 release.

Several key features are introduced with this update:
Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
safe)
Updated, a more modern interface.

Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
the recent RPC API.

There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
library.

While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
long of a wait.

New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
than the old portmapper.

Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.

Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

# 57668 01-Mar-2000 sheldonh

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

# 53096 11-Nov-1999 dillon

Give nfsd the ability to bind to specific IP addresses through the -h
option and add explicit option to bind to the wildcard address. The
default is to bind to the wildcard address when no -h option has been
specified and thus backwards compatibility is maintained.

Changes to support version 3 of the NFS protocol.
The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount). The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server. It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.

Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs. Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.

NFS diskless support is untested.
