nfs requests from non-privileged ports.
Change mountd such that it does never set this variable, but only clears
it when run with -n. Also document this in the man page.
(presumably because the kernel is old). Moved the declaration of a
variable realated to this sysctl outside of an unrelated ifdef.
Not fixed:
- this sysctl is badly named (nfs occurs twice).
- it's silly to have for FreeBSD in FreeBSD code, especially when
only half of the FreeBSD-dependent code is ifdefed.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
hostname/IP twice on same line in /etc/exports' fix from dumping core
due to bogus /etc/exports entries.

The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount). The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server. It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.
Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs. Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.
NFS diskless support is untested.

you to push the same host into its NFS export lists twice, but mountd
tries to do it anyway. This means that putting:
/some_file_system -ro host1 host1
in your /etc/exports file causes an error. This is bogus: mountd should be
smart enough to ignore the second instance of host1. This can be a problem
in some configurations that use netgroups. For example, each host in my
netgroups database is has two entries:
startide (startide,-,) (startide.ctr.columbia.edu,-,)
When mountd sees this, it tries to put startide.ctr.columbia.edu into the
export list *twice*. Just listing 'startide' /etc/exports list will also
screw up because mountd will try to resolve the netgroup 'startide' instead
of the hostname 'startide.'
My solution is watch for duplicate entries in get_host() and mark them
as grouptype GT_IGNORE, which do_mount() will now cheefully throw away.
This is a bit of a kludge, but it was the least obtrusive fix I could
come up with.
Also silenced a compiler warning: arguments passwd to xdr_long() should
be u_long, not int. :)
