Why does rpc.mountd start two instances of mountd? It doesn't, so you must be doing something very wrong on your system -- are you starting a second mountd or something? This is my system: $ ps ax |grep mountd 26351 ? S 0:01 rpc.mountd $ rpcinfo -p | grep mountd 100005 1 udp 4112 mountd 100005 1 tcp 3231 mountd 100005 2 udp 4112 mountd 100005 2 tcp 3231 mountd 100005 3 udp 4112 mountd 100005 3 tcp 3231 mountd One process, six ports, no problem.
