I don't have a copy of the ISC stuff running here (lame excuse: I should
order one), but assuming that their PCNFSD is derived from the standard
source you should be able to start it with a "-d" option to trace
each transaction. Of course this assumes that PCNFSD is running:
to check this, run the following on the PC:

	rpcinfo -u <servername> 150001

Fixed in 3.0.1. If you don't have a copy, contact Sun's Customer
Support Division for upgrade info. (Or buy another copy of PC-NFS
and use it to upgrade existing nodes as well....)
