  i'll start with submitting the above rpc.mountd error(?) to
bugzilla.  it seems pretty clear that *needing* NFSv1 support simply
to *start* rpc.mountd makes no sense.  but there's still another issue
related to this.

  as i read it, NFSv4 now incorporates the mount operation in the
protocol, and i read that as saying that you don't even *need* a
running rpc.mountd anymore if you restrict yourself to NFSv4.
however, the earlier emailer wrote the following:

"My understanding is that mountd, statd etc are still needed but they
do not need to be exposed to the outside world. That is, you can limit
all of them in /etc/hosts.allow to 127.0.0.1 and only open port 2049
on the firewall."

  so does anyone know for sure?  in any event, i'll bugzilla that
earlier error.
