We're using OpenBSD, so it randomizes ports. Its mountd also doesn't
have an option for specifying the port number, and there's no entry
for mountd in /etc/services. I guess it boils down to modifying mountd
to use a fixed port here. Shouldn't be very hard I guess.
Thanks a lot for the detailed reply!
