No problem. I am just not familiar with pcnfsd2. The source files I find
are I386 or I586.

the file I downloaded:  linux_pcnfsd2-1.6-578.src.rpm

Works fine, AFAICT. What's the problem?

pcnfsd maps UID values for Windows NFS clients from a plaintext login,
forcing NFS to do minimal access controls based on that uid. Note that
no encryption is performed on the credentials, so you have passwords
crossing the network in the clear. Not Good.
