SUMMARY: static port for mountd

this is not possible in Solaris yet. Matt said that Solaris 10 will be
able to do it though.

You can't change mountd port for solaris - Only Linux.
Normally you don't do any RPC services through a FW...
You'd have to open a range of ports on FW to mount from a Solaris box.
Only Linux gives you the option of specifying a port for mountd to use.

Upgrade to Solaris10 when it comes out. Sun is fixing this problem in
that version of the OS, but no solution as far as I know exists at this
moment (except maybe a non-Sun compiled version of nfsd/mountd but I
haven't looked into that possibility)
