Subject: Problems NFS mounting Sun disks on 386bsd system

I've managed to get a 386bsd system to act as an NFS server, but I
can't get it to mount disks from elsewhere.  The problem seems to be
with the 386bsd mount command - it's not using a port number < 1024.
The syslog output on the Sun is

Aug 24 10:19:47 may vmunix: NFS request from unprivileged port.
Aug 24 10:19:47 may vmunix: nfs_server: weak authentication, source IP address=129.215.192.244

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance
