firefox, nfs4

It appears that the new firefox's history mechanism, which uses sqlite to store the data, does not play nicely with nfs3. A locking issue hangs firefox on startup.

Looking into nfs4, it does not look very mature yet as a technology. The kerberos implementation looks ok, but is outside the scope of what we can provide without duplicating media services services. Without kerberos, it is not mapping the ids correctly, which is not viable for user directories.

Additionally, it gave me problems with exporting multiple directories. It only wanted to export one directory, and ignored the others...
