No.  The only changes required was to remove instances of truerand (replaced
with /dev/random) and replace the function calls with the svc versions. eg:

-nfsproc_getattr_2(ap,rp)
-     nfs_fh *ap;
-     SR rp;
+nfsproc_getattr_2_svc(nfs_fh *ap, struct svc_req *rp)


This was actually passed onto me by someone who had worked on it for a while.
See the .diff.gz for details.

At the moment my postinst writes directly to /etc/exports (to configure
your nfs bootstrap) - which is not policy compliant.  Can you suggest any
way around this?

Also - in my research of the program it came to my notice that this code
should never have been released from the US (it was developed there).  Now
that is out of the US are there any legal issues for debian?

Chris
