Hi,
I see number of files in nfsd filesystem which
are readable and writable by user processes
like rpc.mountd(for upcalls).
Looks like same thing can be done in kernel.
Is this only to move some
complex code from kernel to userland ?
Thanks,
kiran

Why on earth would we want to put crap like reverse DNS, NIS, LDAP,
kerberos, ... in the kernel?

Ok got it.=20
I thought we can do away with relying on
reading files from /var/lib/nfs(for mountd upcall)
as kernel is aware of exports and their properties.
But these would introduce complexity in kernel code as
you said. Thanks
