A copy of nfsid that is made non-setuid fails with a bogus message:
<1062 11:49pm>[prometheus!raeburn:/mit/raeburn]
% /tmp/nfsid priam
nfsid: Server PRIAM.MIT.EDU not responding
Exit 13 /tmp/nfsid priam
<1063 11:49pm>[prometheus!raeburn:/mit/raeburn]
% /etc/athena/nfsid priam
PRIAM.MIT.EDU: mapped
<1064 11:49pm>[prometheus!raeburn:/mit/raeburn]
%
The man page says that exit status 13 means "no reserved ports
available" -- closer than the message printed, but still not quite
right.
Is it reasonable for this program to run non-setuid? (Such as on the
source machine, where we want "attach" not to be generally usable...)
