Is there some good reason why the nfs rc script exits if /etc/exports
is empty? [ -s /etc/exports ] || exit 0
If an admin adds something to /etc/exports, they have to kick the
rc script too. Seems silly.

Empty (or non-existant) /etc/exports means that you don't want to
export anything, so the relevant daemons aren't run at all.

If you want to start a service that wasn't previously configured, then
running the rc script is the normal thing to do.
Put a comment in /etc/exports if you really want the daemons, but no
exports.

We did
# echo "#" > /etc/exports
for this purpose.
