I don't understand very well why the last change was necessary but it fixed the following problem:
/usr/bin/nfs-server-config: 69: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
For "here" documents, the body undergoes substitutions by the shell, depending on how the keyword is quoted. There is a backquote (`) in the original script, in an unquoted here-doc, and that is indeed a syntax error, since the shell is trying to expand it as a command substitution.
Try these: cat <<EOF HOME is $HOME the date is `date` the date is $(date) EOF cat <<"EOF" HOME is $HOME the date is `date` the date is $(date) EOF cat <<\EOF HOME is $HOME the date is `date` the date is $(date) EOF Joe Buehler
