+ Allows MPD to access files on NFSv3 servers without actually
+ mounting them (i.e. in userspace, without help from the
+ kernel's VFS layer). All URIs with the
+ <filename>nfs://</filename> scheme are used according to
+ <ulink
+ url="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2224">RFC2224</ulink>.
+ Example:
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ <filename>mpc add nfs://servername/path/filename.ogg</filename>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Note that this usually requires enabling the "insecure" flag
+ in the server's <filename>/etc/exports</filename> file,
+ because MPD cannot bind to so-called "privileged" ports.
+ Don't fear: this will not make your file server insecure;
+ the flag was named in a time long ago when privileged ports
+ were thought to be meaningful for security. By today's
+ standards, NFSv3 is not secure at all, and if you believe it
+ is, you're already doomed.
