I think the slash before the first IP is a typo on the webpage.
The no_root_squash option does open some rather nasty security issues
over the insecure NFS.

A hard mount can cause you grief if the server goes down. It hammers
away trying to reconnect, and can be difficult to kill.

I don't have any information on that, but I'd be checking anything very
carefully that gives a NO answer to a SECURE question.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
