+Possibly not, but that is how it comes, and sorting out the Mageia

+I've done a lot of googling, and most of what I found was
+ubuntu-specific.  However, I found a recent entry saying that it is
+provided by nfs-utils - that that is installed.  nfs-common and
+nfs-server are both running, according to mcc.  Following another
+lead, I tried to locate nfsmount.conf and found that I had a backup
+containing it, and a man page, but no actual file.
+
+This is incredibly difficult.  Users shouldn't have to jump through
+this number of hoops to do something so basic to productivity :-(
