NFSD: Update help text for CONFIG_NFSD

Browse Source 
Clean up: refresh the help text for Kconfig items related to the NFS
server.  Remove obsolete URLs, and make the language consistent among
the options.

help
If you want your Linux box to act as an NFS *server*, so that other
computers on your local network which support NFS can access certain
directories on your box transparently, you have two options: you can
use the self-contained user space program nfsd, in which case you
should say N here, or you can say Y and use the kernel based NFS
server. The advantage of the kernel based solution is that it is
faster.
Choose Y here if you want to allow other computers to access
files residing on this system using Sun's Network File System
protocol. To compile the NFS server support as a module,
choose M here: the module will be called nfsd.
In either case, you will need support software; the respective
locations are given in the file <file:Documentation/Changes> in the
NFS section.
You may choose to use a user-space NFS server instead, in which
case you can choose N here.
If you say Y here, you will get support for version 2 of the NFS
protocol (NFSv2). If you also want NFSv3, say Y to the next question
as well.
To export local file systems using NFS, you also need to install
user space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils
package, available from http://linux-nfs.org/. More detail about
the Linux NFS server implementation is available via the
exports(5) man page.
Please read the NFS-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
Below you can choose which versions of the NFS protocol are
available to clients mounting the NFS server on this system.
Support for NFS version 2 (RFC 1094) is always available when
CONFIG_NFSD is selected.
To compile the NFS server support as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called nfsd. If unsure, say N.
If unsure, say N.

help
If you would like to include the NFSv3 server as well as the NFSv2
server, say Y here. If unsure, say Y.
This option enables support in your system's NFS server for
version 3 of the NFS protocol (RFC 1813).
If unsure, say Y.

help
Implement the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension for manipulating POSIX
Access Control Lists on exported file systems. NFS clients should
be compiled with the NFSv3 ACL protocol extension; see the
CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL option. If unsure, say N.
Solaris NFS servers support an auxiliary NFSv3 ACL protocol that
never became an official part of the NFS version 3 protocol.
This protocol extension allows applications on NFS clients to
manipulate POSIX Access Control Lists on files residing on NFS
servers. NFS servers enforce POSIX ACLs on local files whether
this protocol is available or not.
This option enables support in your system's NFS server for the
NFSv3 ACL protocol extension allowing NFS clients to manipulate
POSIX ACLs on files exported by your system's NFS server. NFS
clients which support the Solaris NFSv3 ACL protocol can then
access and modify ACLs on your NFS server.
To store ACLs on your NFS server, you also need to enable ACL-
related CONFIG options for your local file systems of choice.
If unsure, say N.

help
If you would like to include the NFSv4 server as well as the NFSv2
and NFSv3 servers, say Y here. This feature is experimental, and
should only be used if you are interested in helping to test NFSv4.
This option enables support in your system's NFS server for
version 4 of the NFS protocol (RFC 3530).
To export files using NFSv4, you need to install additional user
space programs which can be found in the Linux nfs-utils package,
available from http://linux-nfs.org/.
If unsure, say N.
