Greetings,

I have a PC running 2.2.2 acting as an NFS server.  I have mountd started with
the -n flag, but no host in the exports file is allowed to mount the
filesystem specified without root priviliges.  I have tired the following
clients:

FreeBSD 2.2.5
Solaris 2.6

And neither works with a non-root mount.  If I su and execute the same mount
command on the client it works.

I checked the FAQ, gnats listing, and mailing list archives, and I didn't see
anything about this.  I can't believe that a bug this noticable would go
unreported for this long, so I'm guessing that I'm missing something obvious.

Anyone have any clues?

Thanks.
