:It is currently not possible to mount a NFS file system if the first 
:character in the remote server's hostname is a digit. For example,
:
:mount -t nfs 6pack:/ /mnt
:
:will fail and issue a warning about bad net address 6pack. There is a 
:patch below which might be helpful for fixing this.

    Committed!
