I intentionally didn't cater to people who had
already set up file servers because each one ends
up a little different.  I didn't want to pretend that I
could guess how to update your file server.

If you set up your own file server, it is my hope
that you know enough about your own setup to
edit the files to suit.  Much of the time, that might be
just 9fs $fileserver.  But forcing you to make that
change was supposed to make you more aware of what
was going on.
