This plugin uses <ulink

which supports only NFS version 3. Since
<application>MPD</application> is not allowed to bind to
"privileged ports", the NFS server needs to enable the
"insecure" setting; example
<filename>/etc/exports</filename>:

<para>
Don't fear: "insecure" does not mean that your NFS server is
insecure. A few decades ago, people thought the concept of
"privileged ports" would make network services "secure",
which was a fallacy. The absence of this obsolete
"security" measure means little.
