I've tried using the -p option, but that causes mountd to try to open 
all 4 ports on the same port.  For the two UDP ports that not a problem 
(although I don't think functionally it'd work too well), but the two 
TCP ports obviously will have a problem.  When I run rpc.mountd -p 5000, 
I get this error:

mountd: Could not bind name to socket: Address already in use

pmap_dump shows this:

     100005    1   udp   5000  mountd
     100005    1   tcp   5000  mountd
     100005    2   udp   5000  mountd

However, mountd is not running on the system even though it has 
registered ports with portmapper.  Can I specify a range of ports 
somehow?  I tried rpc.mountd -p5000:5002, but that didn't change anything.
