 That is not the point.  Look in mount_nfs(8), you'll find a command
 line option ``-i'' for mount_nfs, but you won't find, what's supposed
 to go into /etc/fstab.  I can _guess_ that I have to change the
 the line
 
 /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain	/ftp	nfs	ro,soft,intr,bg	0 0
 
 to
 
 /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain	/ftp	nfs	ro,-s,-i,-b	0 0
 
 or
 
 /ftp@somewhere.dom.ain	/ftp	nfs	ro,s,i,b	0 0
 
 or what?  The man pages are not very clear about the new option
 style.

 Don't expect me to be a breeder, and I won't assume you're a fag.
