I'd like to see some kind of notification when portmap is started
despite portmap=NO; indeed, I'd much rather see a warning but see
portmap *not* started.  (If I tell it portmap=NO I damn well expect
that portmap will not be started!  It's offensive (and usually wrong)
for software to think it knows better than I do what I want running on
my machines.)
