Out of interest, ps -x | grep nfs shows seemingly 8 instances of nfsd,
but top doesn't show anything that says nfs, but I don't understand
the significance of either.

Just one other thought .. I presume yer standard broadband router with
its restrictions on things like FTP applies those restrictions to
users outside the local network. So where it shows FTP as disabled,
I'm presuming that's disabled for people outside the network. On this
side, locally, it should just be routing packets .. or am I wrong
about that?
