A new version of nfs-utils (nfs-utils-1.2.3-15.el6.0.sl6) has been 
posted in the Scientific Linux testing repository.  The only difference 
between it and the existing one is an incremented version number.  If 
testing verifies it works as expected it may be placed in the security tree.

This changed version reflects a fork in the naming from upstream which 
we attempt to avoid as much as possible.
