The patch now seems rather nice.  To all of you NFS gurus out there, one
last question, this time a bit technical and on the side of correctness of
the instructions we show in our samples to our poor^Wnewbie users :-)

What happens if portmap is already running?  Will starting portmap again,
make sure that the old portmapper dies gracefully?  Or should we add proper
killall commands in between those lines for each of the programs started.

Ditto.  Does the administrator of the NFS client machine have to kill
already running nfsiod processes before starting nfsiod again?
