I've succeedig in getting a bit further ... by the time I got to the 
bottom of my original, I started to think in terms of rpc more, and had 
overlooked lookign at thte rpcbind man page, which *does* have a -h option 
... setting that fixes things perfectly *almost* ...

The last issue I seem to be  hitting *might* be a 6.x NFS client against a 
7.x server issue ... ?

Postfix generates:

postfix/showq[65261]: fatal: select lock: Permission denied

The only post I found about this was:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-April/215284.html

But there didn't appear to be any responses ... so either all responses 
were private to Robert, or ... ?

This is my last 6.x box, so it is not overly critical, but would be nice 
if I could get it to work properly ...
