I've never actually gotten NFSShare to work with NetBSD/Mac68k.  I guess
our NFS server doesn't deliver the kind of authentication that NFSShare
wants.  Intercon provides with the distribution a small daemon you can
run (bwnfsd) to provide the password authentication neccesary.  I got it
to compile after a fashion, but I don't think it ever actually ran.

I don't have the exact symptoms around (I lost a bunch of stuff in the
Quantum-SCSI-disk-corruption saga), so don't let this discourage anyone
from trying.
