   The problem is that our Sun's (SunOS 4.1.4) sysadmin don't want
to run rpc.mountd -n. But besides I recently switched from Linux
where I had the same version of amd compiled and running without
any problems (it uses ports<1024 for mounting). I'm not a Unix
guru, but it seems that kernel doesn't allow amd process to use
ports<1024. Or may be I misunderstand smth? Is it curable?
  Best wishes.
