conversion.

I notice that this still uses "master", although in a different sense. I can't think of a better word though.

Yes. The other nfs daemons were converted to master/server and,
at the time, that seemed to be considered appropriate.
This change makes nfsuserd do the same.
As you note, I do not know of a better word for it than master.

… a better word for it than master.
Maybe controlling server …
PS sorry, I didn't see that this was closed.

Well, the master/server terminology is used
in other places, such as nfsd(8).
The terminology must be short enough that
it is displayed correctly by "ps". I think
"controlling server" would get truncated.
(This is the man page, but it needs to be
consistent with what the daemon does.)
I thought of "supervisor", but it was too
long and got truncated,
I will change machines to machine's.
