imho, it's a mistake to think that all file servers must be listed
in section 4.  some file servers are listed in section 3, because they're
in the kernel.  some are listed in section 8 because they are adminstrative
commands, that happen to take the form of a file server.  we can argue
semantics, but either way it is done one ends up with the same dilemma
that not all x command are listed in section of(x).
