In fact, I thought of a completely userspace daemon. I took 
nfs-server-userspace-2.2b47 from the net and wondered why there was 2 
daemons while one is IMHO enough.
So, separating things between things that relates is sometimes good, but 
sometimes, it add complexity.
Any comment? Why 2 daemons in userspace. And the 2 run as root (I think...)
