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...)
The connection with rpc.mountd is definitely made on a privileged
port, meaning that it must be done as root. The question is will
rpc.mountd throw away the request if I make it on a non-reserved port?
