This happened in openSUSE when portmap was replaced with rpcbind because the
update did not turn rpcbind on.

At almost exactly the same time, what seems to have been the same thing
happened on my Rawhide box. Turning rpcbind on only fixed openSUSE, not
Rawhide, and I have no idea how to get nfs to work again on that box. Sounds
like we both have same problem. :-(

I didn't file or find a Fedora bug about it. I figured surely someone else
would find something so important and an update would show up before F10
release. :-(
