Please find attached the code for mount.nfs, a drop-in replacement for the nfsmount code in mount(8). If you're adventurous, simply compile, and install in /sbin as mount.nfs. Beware - this is alpha code I just wrote this morning; I'm running this past this list mostly in order to get feedback. I rewrote the code almost entirely from scratch, because I felt the old code had gotten a little convoluted. The new code should also be a lot smarter about which NFS and MOUNT versions to try, and which transport protocols. It currently prefers TCP over UDP, because that's what I like better, but if people disagree it's easy to turn this into a compile time option. NFS unmount is missing at the moment, mostly because mount(8) doesn't support /sbin/umount.%s yet. There's also no NFSv4 support yet, but if anyone would like to send me patches I will gladly incorporate them. I'm also open to design improvements that may make life for NFSv4 folks easier.
