Hi,

I just did a test and the NFS Kernel Server also bypasses the Linux 2.6 
kernel security api. This is because the kernel server handles file and 
network activity directly from inside the kernel. There are no 
user/kernel context switches that occur.

As mentioned in the FAQ, using a userspace NFS kernel would allow the 
file access events to be detectable.
