No way to specify '-o resvport' / '-P' via <Cmd>-K (Connect to Server
dialog)... That's how people here are trying the mount (not via shell.)
So I guess they'd have to use the shell cmd to mount?

Thanks for the tip on the server-side; I will pursue that with our UNIX
admin who admin's the NFS servers here.

Yes, on newish Mac OS X you specify '-o resvport' on your mount line (or
vfstab). On pre-Leopard OS X the '-P' flag to mount does the same thing.

Alternately you could change the server-side export to include
'insecure', which is only infinitesimally less secure than the default
and fixes all your clients at once.
