The file servers require that NFS requests come from a privileged port. I can instruct FreeBSD to use a privileged port by mounting the remote file system manually and specifying either the "-P" option or the apparently undocumented "resvport" option. The "-P" option does not seem to work in FreeBSD AMD automounter maps, but the undocumented "resvport" option does work. Now, how do I do it with the AMD automounter using an NIS automount map built for sun workstations running AMD. Since the map is for suns, there is no "resvport" option in it. I cannot change the map. Is there some way to tell the FreeBSD version of the AMD automounter to make "resvport" the default without changing the map? Thanks, Dan Strick dan@math.berkeley.edu
