Trying to get OS X to mount an openbsd nfs share. I can force OS X to
use reserved ports by using "mount_nfs -P" from the command line, but
users mounting from the finder don't have that option.
OpenBSD man page for mountd says that there is an -n option to allow
mounting from unreserved ports, but running mountd with that option
doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas?
Also, if this flag worked, I'm not sure how one would put it in
/etc/rc.conf.local
Thanks in advance.
Replying to myself:
On http://www.openbsd.org/plus31.html, I see:
Remove requirement for reserved ports in the NFS server by using the
vfs.nfs.norsvport sysctl(8)
But sysctl says "third level name norsvport in vfs.nfs.norsvport is
invalid"
Searching the archives for vfs.nfs.norsvport show a message that it was
later removed.
Am I chasing a silly idea?
