 These servers require you use the "insecure" export option in /etc/exports

-PLATTFORM support
+Some versions of Linux support special capabilities that can be assigned to
+programs to allow non-root users to bind to system ports.
+This is set up by running 
+    sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/executable
+When libnfs is linked against an executable with this special capability
+assigned to it, libnfs may be able to use system ports even when executing
+under the privilege of a non-root user account.
+
+This is highly non-portable so IF this works on your linux system, count
+yourself lucky.
