rpcinfo -p gives this:
rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: rpcinfo: RPC: Procedure unavailable

If I use the old mount (2.9y) to mount the shares I get no error. If I use
the version in Sid (2.11n) I get this:
pmap_getmaps rpc problem: RPC: Procedure unavailable
but it mounts anyway, and seems to work fine. Apparently things are better
at V4R5, as NFS seems to be more closely aligned to what Linux et al
expect, but if I'll ever see that is debatable :(
