PCNFS required PCNFSD or PCNFSD functionality.

On Linux, the functionality is "almost there" (as you found out) in the
user space daemon.

On BSD, you *must* run the PCNFSD.

Luckily PCNFSD source comes with PCNFSD.


I believe there are several ports (Sun, Beame and Whiteside) lying around
already.
