|     nfsd: don't enable a UDP socket by default
|
|     Most major NFS clients have supported TCP for at least a decade now,
|     and v4-only shops are becoming more prevalent. It seems reasonable that
|     serving over UDP should be something that is "opt-in".
|
|     I've always hesitated to do this in the past, but now that we have
|     nfs.conf, it seems like the time may be right to disable UDP in default
|     configurations. In particular, it would be good to try this in the more
|     bleeding edge distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, SuSE, etc...) and see how
|     problematic it is.
|
|     Change the default in rpc.nfsd to just open TCP ports by default. Add
|     new -u and -t options that allow users to explicitly override what's
|     in the config file, and update the usage message and manpage.

So nowadays the `rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3` fails, and we end up with a
NFS server having NFS v3 disabled.

While we could switch to `rpcinfo -t localhost nfs 3` instead, there's
probably no need to check for this any longer, as NFS v3 should be
common enough (verified with grml64-full 2021.07 + grml64-full 2022.11-rc1).
