53 It listens for service requests at the port indicated in the
55 server specification; see

67 protocol to mount filesystems from this server.
69 Output debugging information.
73 requests to be logged.
75 Allow non-root mount requests to be served.
76 This should only be specified if there are clients such as PC's,
78 It will automatically clear the vfs.nfs.nfs_privport sysctl flag, which
79 controls if the kernel will accept NFS requests from reserved ports only.
81 Allow mount RPCs requests for regular files to be served.
82 Although this seems to violate the mount protocol specification,
83 some diskless workstations do mount requests for
84 their swapfiles and expect them to be regular files.
85 Since a regular file cannot be specified in
87 the entire file system in which the swapfiles resides
