From eb54404b71d1aadf31e8552b214cf8976a035f18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rmacklem Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2017 00:04:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] MFC: r321248 Update the nfsv4 man page to reflect recent changes to support the newer RFCs (5661 and 7530). The main man changes are for the case of "numbers in strings" for user/groups that RFC7530 allows and avoids use of nfsuserd(8). This is a content change. git-svn-id: svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/10@321597 ccf9f872-aa2e-dd11-9fc8-001c23d0bc1f --- usr.sbin/nfsd/nfsv4.4 | 66 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 47 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/usr.sbin/nfsd/nfsv4.4 b/usr.sbin/nfsd/nfsv4.4 index 8d9bc809c..82b25a298 100644 --- a/usr.sbin/nfsd/nfsv4.4 +++ b/usr.sbin/nfsd/nfsv4.4 @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ .\" .\" $FreeBSD$ .\" -.Dd July 1, 2013 +.Dd July 19, 2017 .Dt NFSV4 4 .Os .Sh NAME @@ -34,7 +34,8 @@ The NFS client and server provides support for the .Tn NFSv4 specification; see -.%T "Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Protocol RFC 3530" . +.%T "Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Protocol RFC 7530" and +.%T "Network File System (NFS) Version 4 Minor Version 1 Protocol RFC 5661" .
