You learn something new every day.  Thanks for explaining this,
Igor :-)

Actually, the variable can be eliminated - it was left over from
a previous version of the script, and isn't actually referenced.

For now, you should be able to comment out (or delete) the line
that makes the assignment to the UID variable.  I'll see about
getting a new version of nfs-server out with this fix later today.
