Right... I'm assuming the later... which is exactly how the set the default 
version to v3 in F-12. I install a /etc/nfsmount.conf with Defaultvers=3 set.

But with with older releases I don't messing with people configuration 
files since I would not want to break an existing configuration... 
Note, there is a number of people who are currently running with 
correctly configured v4 server... I would hate to mess those people up..
