#Does somebody know if there is a patch available for the PC/NFS 3.0.1
#setuid/setgid bug ?
#PC/NFS does not recognize that a parent directory has s-bits. Thus, a
#new made directory (with md in DOS) has wrong group id. To avoid this,
#I use 'rsh host mkdir path' at the moment, but thats not nice...

Unfortunately it's not really patchable. It will be fixed in the next
release, which may or may not be a consolation...
