With -n (allow from non root users) for mountd the mount succeeds although without it doesn't but you are root on the client. The nfs server is use is still 7.4 and I cannot find a difference in the man pages of 7 and 9 mountd and mount_nfs regarding to this issue. In regard to the security implications, I think that we don't want mounts from trusted clients by a non root user who cannot bind to privileged ports, thus deny unprivileged ports.
