As we know the Finder supports accessing network shares via NFS as long those are exported with the insecure option on the server. However, I also have to edit my /etc/nfs.conf with root privileges to add the following:


Code:
nfs.client.mount.options = vers=4.0

Then and only then am I able to access NFS shares in Finder by using "Connect to Server" and pointing it to nfs://server/export. Is there any way to achieve this without having to edit nfs.conf with root privileges? According to my research it may have worked in the past by using

Code:
nfs://vers=4,server/export

in the "Connect to Server" Finder dialog but I was unable to verify this as Finder keeps throwing the same fit. The same is true for:

Code:
nfs://vers=4.0,server/export
and
Code:
nfs://vers=4;server/export

Any ideas?
