Cyrus and NFS

[Rob Siemborski]

It might be useful to check the archives, since this comes up alot, and
the answers are always the same.

For example:

http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=11795

http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=11644

and, to a lesser extent:

http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=6914
