As specified in the LTSP setup instructions, my /etc/exports file contains
exactly one line:
/opt/ltsp *(ro,async,no_root_squash)
This worked perfectly for several months, and has not changed. Something else
has changed, and since I haven't been playing around with NFS or RPC, I suspect
it occurred as a result of a yum update.
