How do I change to NFS version 3 so that other UNIX variants may access my NFS share on my Fedora 17?

Thanks, I meant the content in that format was not present, the file is there. 
Sorry that wasn't clear. It appears the NFS3 is supported by the server, at 
least through fc16, but the default mount is nfs4 unless the "-t nfs" option is 
used for the mount command. Why this mount doesn't work as desired with AIX 
client is unclear.
