Could you be more specific about SuSe please? I just checked 11.1, 11.0, 10.3, SLES10sp2 and SLES9sp4 and they all look like they have it in the right order. > > A better way would be to fix NFS and its utilities itself instead of fixing > the distribution.

The best that we as upstream can do is document what is required. The fact that "mount -t nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd" should be first on the server is very clear from the README file distributed with nfs-utils. Can you be more precise about what you suggest could be fixed in NFS and its utilities? You said in the original email: > Questions: is this behaviour a bug or at least bad?

I believe that when exportfs detects "new" mode it will never feed rmtab into the kernel. So there is nothing to be fixed there. Confused?
