+Normally amd will refuse requests coming from unprivileged ports (i.e.
+ports >= 1024 on Unix systems), so that only privileged users and the kernel
+can send NFS requests to it. However, some kernels (certain versions of
+Darwin, MacOS X, and Linux) have bugs that cause them to use unprivileged
+ports in certain situations, which causes amd to stop dead in its
+tracks. This parameter allows amd to operate normally even on such systems,
+at the expense of a slight decrease in the security of its operations. If
+you see messages like "ignoring request from foo:1234, port not reserved"
+in your amd log, try enabling this parameter and give it another go.
