Probably Benjamin has a userlevel implementation of a crypting filesystem
that works by loopback mounting a local filesystem via a special userlevel
nfs server. So you don't go over the wire, you go over lo0 :-)

Ant that's what you can change on other machines. There you can force
mount not to ask the portmapper but to use a usersupplied port number.

But our mount_nfs program doesn't support this (yet), but it doesn't
seem to be hard to add.
