104 This is typically done to ensure that the port which
106 binds to is a known quantity which can be used in firewall rulesets.
109 cannot bind to this port, an appropriate error will be recorded in
110 the system log, and the daemon will then exit.
112 Allow mount RPCs requests for regular files to be served.
113 Although this seems to violate the mount protocol specification,
114 some diskless workstations do mount requests for
115 their swapfiles and expect them to be regular files.
116 Since a regular file cannot be specified in
