iiuc (?), making those definitions in /etc/services will _force_ the default
behavior of a static port assignment for rquotad -- to port 4003.
i don't see why that's of benefit, or even recommended. if a static definition
is to be added to /etc/services, shouldn't it then be registered?

?
what is, imo, of value, is the ability to choose/configure in
/etc/sysconfig/nfs.
options to *set* any/all of the nfs-related ports, and thus make them static
assignments, or leave the *unset*, and therefore accept default behavior of
dynamic assignment seems, to me, the most accommodating way to go.
for reference, here's one of many clear examples,
http://www.lovschall.dk/2010/01/nfs-static-ports-and-firewalls.html
tbh, i do not know what's "globally" preferable &/or recommended.
reading here, e.g.,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/core.904/b12115/managing.htm#BA...
suggests, imo rationally, that "it depends" ... and that the flexibility to use
static &/or dynamic ports is what's recommended.
