your correct...  between redhat 5.2 and 6.2 it was renamed from nfs-server
to nfs-utils and I was looking for nfs-utils on my src mirror...

wow..  When it was in redhat 5.2 it was updated to 2.2beta47 and then it
dropped off the map but it would seem we never got that update :(  Anyway...
I think it's safe to say it shouldn't be used publicly unless it has a
firewall controlling access to it and it's buddy portmap...
