Hi, I think we should move portmap(8) to /sbin for the following reason: portmap(8) and therefore mountd(8) should be started before the nfs filesystems get mounted. But because portmap(8) is in /usr/sbin , users with a nfs mounted /usr filesystem or with diskless filesystems will have big problems. This will fix loopback and local mounts in fstab. Untill now this has not been possible because of the above reasons. Btw: Linux also has portmap(8) installed in /sbin. I'm prepared for a big fight :) Can you give me any arguments against this change ?
