hmm. i have no problems doing so; redhat 5.2, aix 4.1.4. what is your
version number combination, i can probably reproduce it here.
(nothing special, just 'mount linux:/dir /mnt' on the aix box.

see the man page for portmap and nfsd on linux for more info on 'secure ports'
but you might try using a port less than 1024, which are generally unusable
by anyone who isnt root or running a program as root.
