+UNFS3 is a user-space implementation of the NFSv3 server specification.
+It provides a daemon for the MOUNT and NFS protocols, which are used by
+NFS clients for accessing files on the server.
+
+It can be configured to run under an unprivileged user account, can password
+protect its exports (even with one-time passwords), and supports ClusterNFS'
+file tagging features.
+
+unfsd conflicts with knfsd (the kernel-mode NFS server) if both are configured
+to listen to the same port, which defaults to 2049.
+
+Slackware Linux 11.0 ships with knfsd, however that defaults to disabled.
+To use this NFS server instead, make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.unfsd is executable and
+/etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd is not executable. Add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+# Start the NFSv3 service
+if [ -x /etc/rc/d/rc.unfsd ]; then
+ /etc/rc/d/rc.unfsd start
+fi
