Earlier NFS implementations (HP-UX, Ultrix, RISC/os < 4.50) made their
initial mount requests on non-privileged ports.  To support this ability,
change the lines for rpc.mountd in /etc/inetd.conf from:

rpc	100005	1
	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/etc/rpc.mountd	mountd

to

rpc	100005	1
	dgram	udp	wait	root	/usr/etc/rpc.mountd	mountd -n
