I can't make to meeting today. I am still trying to track down why it's
not working with Smack. It is not sufficient to add CAP_MAC_ADMIN to
nfsd. The missing capability is CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE, according to the audit
trail. I would like to see Smack support as a goal, even if for a future
release.

Thank you.
