I asked about how to get AMD, FreeBSD's automount daemon, to use a
reserved port.  Examination of AMD's code showed that there's an
undocumented option that will do this.

By putting

resvport

in the mount options in the map, AMD will use the reserved-port flag
when it makes the call to mount.

Example:

/defaults       type:=nfs;opts:=rw,nosuid,hard,intr,resvport

I've tried this and it seems to work fine.
