NFS Utilities for Linux

This directory provides a second-source for the nfs-utils package which provides user-space support for both NFS clients and NFS servers.

NFS clients will also need a mount program, available elsewhere, to mount NFS directories. nfs-utils contains all support needed for an NFS server.

nfs-utils is hosted on Source Forge at http://nfs.sourceforge.net/.
