1 Significant changes for nfs-utils 1.1.0 - March/April 2007
3 - rpc.lockd is gone. One 3 old kernel releases need it.
4 - rpc.rquotad is gone. Use the one from the 'quota' package.
6 - /sbin/{u,}mount.nfs{,4} are now installed so 'mount' will
7 use these to mount nfs filesystems instead of internal code.
8 + mount.nfs will check for 'statd' to be running when mounting
9 a filesystem which requires it. If it is not running it will
10 run "/usr/sbin/start-statd" to try to start it.
11 If statd is not running and cannot be started, mount.nfs will
12 refuse to mount the filesystem and will suggest the 'nolock'
14 - Substantial changes to statd
15 + The 'notify' process that must happen at boot has been split
16 into a separate program "sm-notify". It ensures that it
17 only runs once even if you restart statd. This is correct
19 + statd stores state in the files in /var/lib/nfs/sm/ so that
20 if you kill and restart it, it will restore that state and
21 continue working correctly.
22 + statd makes more use of DNS lookup and should handle
23 multi-homed peers better. In particular, files in
24 /var/lib/nfs/sm/ are named with the Full Qualified Domain Name
26 - If you export a directory as 'crossmnt', all filesystems
27 mounted beneath are automatically exported with the same
28 options (unless explicitly exported with different options).
29 - subtree_check is no-longer the default. The default is now
31 - By default the system 'rpcgen' is used while building
32 nfs-utils rather than the internal one.
33 - Exportfs will warn if you try to export a filesystem that does
34 not support NFS export.
35 - Comprehensive notes on startup dependencies have been added
37 - Mount and statd now listen on a non-privileged port by default.
38 For maximum safety an upgrade to portmap-6.0 is recommended.

42 - This release should work with MIT Kerberos and Heimdal 0.8.1 and later.
44 - A new option, -n, was added to rpc.gssd which specifies that
45 accesses by root should not use 'machine credentials' when
46 accessing NFS file systems mounted with Kerberos. Using this
47 option allows the root user to access the NFS space using any
48 Kerberos principal, rather than always using the machine
49 credentials. However, its use also requires that root manually
50 authenticate before attempting a mount with Kerberos.
52 When rpc.gssd uses machine credentials, the selection algorithm has
53 been changed. Instead of simply using the first "nfs/*" key in the
54 keytab, the keytab is now searched for keys in the following
