> This does not make sense to me
This actually makes a lot of sense (while i kinda fail to see the sense in NFS
requiring a <1024 port by default)

> KIO should provide support to connect an NFS share even if it's under port 1024.
Can't if the server forbids and you lack permissions.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with "sense" in regards of the issue but is a
reasonable solution (for most nfs servers won't export insecure)
I assume the pitfall here would be that the kioslave architecture (likely)
doesn't include any subprocess to leverage. If it did, one could just suid
that.

How did you re-export the filesystem on the server?

> The same happens with root privileges.
I can absolutely not confirm that.
Can you mount those nfs addresses at all?
