    I have an OSX guest system installed in Parallels. I am running it in shared networking mode. When I try to mount NFS from an external server, I get this message:

    mount_nfs: bad MNT RPC: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak

    From the remote server side the request appears to be coming from a non reserved port, i.e. a port over 1024. Most NFS servers are configured not to allow non reserved ports, i.e. non-root users, to mount NFS exports. I verified this by allowing non-root mounts on one server and was able to mount the export afterward. However that is not a long term solution.

    Can I change a configuration somewhere to make the guest system NFS request, using shared networking, not appear to come from a non-reserved port?
