The technical problem was that it did not support the "administrative contr= ols" exports (the ones that define which directories in a file system are mounta= ble via the NFSv3 Mount protocol). As such, replacing mountd with it would have been a major POLA violation. (Personally, I'd be happy to see these "administrative control exports" go away, but others disagree.) The author was not willing to make nfse compatible with mountd w.r.t. the a= bove. Then sometime later, the author posted that he didn't want anyone to use th= e code and was removing it from open source distribution. rick
