Hi Erwin,
Thanks for your continued help in testing nfsd. If I understand your problem
report correctly, you're proposing that a null rpc call be used to register a
currently unregistered client? If so, it sounds like a reasonable idea, though
possibly a security risk in some environments.
I've CC'd this to Olaf Kirch, as I'd like to hear his comments before proceeding
with any changes.
Regards,
Bill
