The article is interesting in that it mentions having to update
NetInfo.  I run into netinfo stuff alot in researching LDAP related
items.  Apple's netinfo seems a conglomeration of NSS, NSCD, and
OpenLDAP;  they must have expanded it's functionality if it now has
something to do with NFS exports.

BTW, the Apple NetInfo people have contributed patches (and some nice
ones at that) back to OpenLDAP.  So kudos to them.

Is slapd running on a Mac OS X server and client?
