The behaviour of the user space nfs server has changed in a potentially nasty way and there's no documentation about it in the package or better yet at installation time.
On slink, you could put the names of symlinks in /etc/exports eg /home, even though /home was a symlink to /local/home, you could mount /home remotely. Now the server follows symlinks and looks up the final pathname in /etc/exports, so existing configurations can be broken. Mine was... and the messages to the log just say the request was blocked. Oddly enough the only entry in changelog.gz which looks relevant is dated 1993. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB. CCs of replies on mailing lists are welcome.
