These servers require you use the "insecure" export option in /etc/exports
in order to allow libnfs clients to be able to connect.
+Some versions of Linux support special capabilities that can be assigned to
+programs to allow non-root users to bind to system ports.
+This is set up by running
+ sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/executable
+When libnfs is linked against an executable with this special capability
+assigned to it, libnfs may be able to use system ports even when executing
+under the privilege of a non-root user account.
+
+This is highly non-portable so IF this works on your linux system, count
+yourself lucky.

+FUSE
+====
+A simple FUSE filesystem built on libnfs can be found in
+examples/fuse_nfs.c
+
+Compile using : gcc fuse_nfs.c -o fuse_nfs -lfuse -lnfs
+Mount using : sudo ./fuse_nfs -n nfs://<server>/<export> -m <mountpoint>

PLATFORM support
=================
-As of now this is tested with linux, MacOSX and Apple iOS.
+This is a truly multiplatform library.
Linux: - tested with Ubuntu 10.04 - should work with others aswell
Cygwin: - tested under 64bit win2k8.
MacOSX: - tested with SDK 10.4 (under Snow Leopard) - should also work with later SDKs and 64Bit
iOS: - tested with iOS SDK 4.2 - running on iOS 4.3.x
FreeBSD:- tested with 8.2
-OpenSolaris
+Solaris
Windows:- tested on Windows 7 64 and Windows XP 32 using Visual Studio 10 (see README.win32.txt for build instructions)
+Android:
+AROS: - Build with 'make -f aros/Makefile.AROS'
+
+
+RELEASE TARBALLS
+================
+Release tarballs are available at https://sites.google.com/site/libnfstarballs/li
+
-Cygwin
-------
-Configure with './configure --enable-tirpc' since cygwin only supports ti-rpc and not classic rpc.
+MAILINGLIST
+===========
+A libnfs mailinglist is available at http://groups.google.com/group/libnfs
