+          <ulink

+          because MPD cannot bind to so-called "privileged" ports.
+          Don't fear: this will not make your file server insecure;
+          the flag was named in a time long ago when privileged ports
+          were thought to be meaningful for security.  By today's
+          standards, NFSv3 is not secure at all, and if you believe it
