It would appear that the default NFS protocol has moved forward. I haven't
tested it, but it looks like there might be a way to revert to NFS version 1.
I'd be most interested in whether or not it works.

Go to the "mountd" part of the "start" section of the "/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs"
script. You should find a line therein which looks like:

    daemon rpc.mountd

Change it to look like:

    daemon rpc.mountd --nfs-version 1

If that doesn't work, you might try another option, i.e. "--no--nfs-version" (I
just know it's there but haven't got a clue regarding what it does), which also
takes a version operand, e.g.:

    daemon rpc.mountd --no--nfs-version 1
