I am trying to run mountd with my own compiled version of rpcbind. If I have rpcbind running in debug mode (./rpcbind -d) before I start mountd, I get the following error message: /etc/rc.d/mountd: WARNING: Unable to force rpcbind. It may already be running./etc/rc.d/mountd: WARNING: failed precmd routine for mountdIf I do not have rpcbind running when I start mountd, then it starts the rpcbind that is installed on the system and not my compiled version. Is there a way to get around this?

The easiest way would be to run mountd by hand, instead of using the rc script.  Just do mountd, as root.
