Due to changes in the length of the phone number field, isdn4k-utils
needs to be recompiled or (preferably) upgraded.
NFS-utils
---------
In 2.4 and earlier kernels, the nfs server needed to know about any
client that expected to be able to access files via NFS. This
information would be given to the kernel by "mountd" when the client
mounted the filesystem, or by "exportfs" at system startup. exportfs
would take information about active clients from /var/lib/nfs/rmtab.
This approach is quite fragile as it depends on rmtab being correct
which is not always easy, particularly when trying to implement
fail-over. Even when the system is working well, rmtab suffers from
getting lots of old entries that never get removed.
With 2.6 we have the option of having the kernel tell mountd when it
gets a request from an unknown host, and mountd can give appropriate
export information to the kernel. This removes the dependency on
rmtab and means that the kernel only needs to know about currently
active clients.
To enable this new functionality, you need to:
mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfs
before running exportfs or mountd. It is recommended that all NFS
services be protected from the internet-at-large by a firewall where
that is possible.
