I'm not sure what to do with the man page--remove it, or add a note saying it's gone from recent kernels? Do you have something you generally do in such cases? It's been replaced by a set of files in the nfsd filesystem, which is documented in nfsd(7). That man page looks sufficiently up-to-date to cover the functionality previous provided by nfsservctl. (Though I only skimmed it quickly. It might be worth a more careful review some day.) --b. (Argh, sorry, resending with cut-n-pasted addresses de-obfuscated.)
