Unless we completely missed something, nfsd does lack support for
tcp_wrapper, doesn't it?

As NFS is a rather critical security-wize this seems like a big omission.

(Many sites, like ours, just cannot avoid using NFS, so it would be nice
to be able to easily restrict the address range clients are allowed to
connect from.)

Or are we just missing something?
