No worries.  I am effectively without internet access right from now until about the 3rd week in November as I move so I really can't look anyway.

>From your description I am concerned about using the letter combination nsfs.   I once used nsfd, and that was so close to nfsd that Linus got confused, and hilarity ensued.   nsfs isn't quite as bad but the abbreviation still seems close enough to nfs that confusion could result.
