I've tried using the -p option, but that causes mountd to try to open all 4 ports on the same port. For the two UDP ports that not a problem (although I don't think functionally it'd work too well), but the two TCP ports obviously will have a problem. When I run rpc.mountd -p 5000, I get this error: mountd: Could not bind name to socket: Address already in use pmap_dump shows this: 100005 1 udp 5000 mountd 100005 1 tcp 5000 mountd 100005 2 udp 5000 mountd However, mountd is not running on the system even though it has registered ports with portmapper. Can I specify a range of ports somehow? I tried rpc.mountd -p5000:5002, but that didn't change anything.
