What you say: Just 2 words further on in that sentence "used by NFS 
clients".

Read as unfs3 is run as client to access kernel nfs on host.

No where in any documentation on unfs3 does it ever say unfs3 has to be 
run on both client and service side. That sentence infers that unfs3 is 
only run on the client side. Now I do concede that the writer of that 
sentence may not be a native English speaker and as such fails to 
express fully the intent of what he was trying to say. Maybe unfs3 
really has to be used on both the host server side and clients side for 
it to work. Or this may just be a case of the author being to close to 
the trees to see the forest.
