Synopsis: [nfs] NFS client doesn't detect file updates on Novell NFS server

Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-bugs->cel
Responsible-Changed-By: cel
Responsible-Changed-When: Fri May 12 21:08:38 UTC 2006
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
I'm going to look at this, but I think Novell's engineering is dead
wrong here.  There is no way *any* NFS client can detect changes in
a file's data if the server doesn't update mtime on the file when
the data changes.

I know some folks at Novell/SuSE and maybe they can connect me to
the right engineers to help out.
