More specifically, the knfsd distributed with redhat is b0rken.  I have
heard that linux disributions produced by VA linux have a working kernel
NFS, and remember hearing rumours that the same fixes had been adopted
into knfsd by newer versions of SuSE.  I know H.J. Liu produced some
working ones (I personally run knfsd-981204 and "it works for me"(tm))
but I have no idea for sure where working source now resides.

According to ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/knfsd/README.nfs
you can get the latest snapshots via CVS, but personally at this point
I'm more likely to ditch linux on my i386 for NetBSD than "upgrade"
linux...
