Subject:   -59- Why can't Ultrix automount SGI filesystems?
Date: 10 Dec 1993 00:00:01 CST

  Ultrix's automount uses an "untrusted" port for mount requests. Add
  an '-n' to the mountd lines in /usr/etc/inetd.conf (/etc/inetd.conf
  in IRIX 5.x), like so:

  mountd/1    stream  rpc/tcp wait    root    /usr/etc/rpc.mountd     mountd -n
  mountd/1    dgram   rpc/udp wait    root    /usr/etc/rpc.mountd     mountd -n

  then 'killall mountd' and 'killall -HUP inetd' or reboot.
