With Lorenzo's addition [1] of new kernel netlink interfaces, it's a good time to revisit how the kernel server is managed from userland. This series first adds Lorenzo's original userland nfsdctl tool to the nfs-utils tree, and then converts it to a subcommand-based interface, in the spirit of tools like nmcli or virsh. This is not quite at feature parity with rpc.nfsd(8) yet, at least as far as autostart supporting options in /etc/nfs.conf. We need a way to set the grace-time and lease-time. This also lacks a manpage and a lot of needed --help text, so it's not ready for merge yet. Consider this a request for early feedback: Does this seem like a reasonable approach for managing the server?
