Sounds like how my network grew, with more cnc'd machines added. But I 
was never able the make MFSv4 Just Work for anything for more than the 
next reboot of one of the machines.  Then I discovered sshfs which Just 
Does anything the user can do, it does not allow root access, but since I 
am the same user number on all machines, I just put whatever needs root 
in a users tmp dir then ssh login to that machine, become root and then 
put the file wherever it needs to go. I can do whatever needs done, to 
any of my machines, currently 7, from a comfy office chair.
