nfs-io-slave does not work as non-root

hello forum members,

the io-slaves in kde are a great invention, but sometimes they can be terrible. i'm interested in using my nfs-constellation transparently with various kde-editors using the provided nfs-io-slave. unfortunately the io-slave tries to mount all exported directories from the nfs-server when typing nfs://servers-address.domain on a high port ( < 1024 ) which fails by the interdiction of the server. he reports something like "mount request refused [...] illegal port 33092. the port number is incrementing every new mount request.
if i start the konqueror with sudo (with ubuntu root has no password per default but the install user is privileged for all commands in /etc/sudoers) the mount request works and konqueror is presenting me all exports served by the nfs-server.

is there any way to make the io-slave using the normal mount routine? if i mount an export manually as user it works fine because the mount binary has rws as owner bits (owned by root)?
Or can i configure the nfs-server allowing illegal high ports?

Thank you

ps: i'm german, sorry for bad english...

The idea about IO slaves is that you don't have to mount but talk to the server directly.

Maybe, don't know.

I once had a nice application calls Kuickdisk (or something like that) which let you easily mount filesystems I had in /etc/fstab from a context menu of a tray icon.

thank you, now i understand, why it won't work. it solved the problem for me, adding the 'insecure' option to the export i was trying to acces on the server.
