NFS browsing in Hoary?

[David Coldrick]

I don't think that's true, because I *have* used a linux distro (Sun's
JDS) - gnome-based - that did allow that. The mounting thing might
indeed be an issue, tho.

I seem to recall that the bowsing feature was considered "insecure" by
some: need to investigate further.

Other feedback welcome.

Regards,
David
