From: Jeff Layton Date: Mon, 7 May 2007 11:53:32 +0000 (-0400) Subject: update manpages for showmount and mountd X-Git-Tag: nfs-utils-1-1-0~4 X-Git-Url: https://git.decadent.org.uk/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a5f020dda1a93657eae1b297a67d054269a3ef0c;p=nfs-utils.git update manpages for showmount and mountd This patch updates the manpages for showmount and mountd. It adds a description of the new mountd -r option, and a caveat about the unreliability of showmount -a.
