Are you root when mounting on the client?

You can also take a look at

in the handbook
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm running as root on the client when I try
the mount.

It was the handbook I was following in my attempt to set up NFS.



OK.
With -n (allow from non root users) for mountd the mount succeeds although without it doesn't but you are root on the client. The nfs server is use is still 7.4 and I cannot find a difference in the man pages of 7 and 9 mountd and mount_nfs regarding to this issue.

In regard to the security implications, I think that we don't want mounts from trusted clients by a non root user who cannot bind to privileged ports, thus deny unprivileged ports.
