Like it or not I MUST I had the same problem while mounting sunOS filesystems. You need to specify -P option to mount_nfs. This makes mount to use a reserved port which is believed to be more secure. FreeBSD mount_nfs man page says this is a mistaken belief. If you are using amd, you should add resvport to the options part of /defaults line. Cengiz
