Hmm, I was playing with this only last night. The server is
-current from April 1 and the client is 2.2.1 from March 17
(just before release). -current is insisting on a reserved
port at the moment.
mount -o -P got permission denied as did mount -o resvport
(the manual documents resvport as a bad idea anyway). Also,
-P in /etc/fstab didn't help :(
mount_nfs -o -P was the only thing that I could get to work :(
There may be something seriously wrong (or I may have hosed my
machine). I'll look into it in more detail tonight.
