Hi everybody,
this (the title of this thread) is the error I am getting from my NFS client when I try to mount a filesystem from my NFS server. On the server I get:
I am executing the command as root, and both server and client run a version of FreeBSD-8 (not the latest).
tcpdump shows that the client connects from an unprivileged port, indeed, which worries me.
Is there a way to understand why my client tries to mount remote filesystems using a non-privileged port, even though the mount command is executed as root?
For the POC, I switched the roles of server and client, and I had exactly the same problem.
I know I am missing something easy on this, but my head is stuck. If anyone can help, it would be really great!
Thank you all in advance.

Code:
[tcp] 192.168.100.11:home: RPCPROG_MNT: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak
$ shomount -e server
shows the correct information. If I start mountd with the -n option (on the server), then everything works just fine.tcpdump shows that the client connects from an unprivileged port, indeed, which worries me.
