even with -N 4 rpc.mountd still can not turn off tcp port;

I have take a look at as to why -n no longer works. It happen when nfs-utils 
switched from the glibc RPC code to the libtirpc RPC code, a few years
back... 

I personally believe, not being able to turn off TCP mount is a good thing! I 
think the bug should be you can't turn of UDP mounts because that's
what we really want... 

With that said... there actually is ways to turn of both UDP and TCP mount.
Simply comment out the 
     "udp        tpi_clts      v     inet     udp"
     "tcp        tpi_cots_ord  v     inet     tcp"

lines in the /etc/netconfig, at least in theory... 

So, I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX and work with upstream 
to eliminate this flag completely...

So strange reason...
Fix this problem is difficult to do?

I think ..  we should from user perspective.
  If it can not turn off TCP, At least please delete the -n|--no-tcp option,
  and add description in man pages.

please think if you are a user of the tools;

The test is invalid, I would not flag this as a beta blocker or a test blocker (which holds up beta).

We can certainly look at updating documentation and removing the option, but I suggest that is relatively low priority (although I do agree we should clean it up for users).

Thanks!

Agreed to remove testblocker, if you insist;
   (I try other method to close tcp to reproduce ...)
But Do not agree WONTFIX.

Low priority is ok, unimportant.
But for backward compatibility, not suggest delete the option.
better fix it in RC, or more later if you have not time.

And.. I try the the follow patch, it works; you can and other condition:
    if ((-n) and (-N 4) and (netconfig is tcp)) continue;
It is easy to fix.

Although the -n option is not often used, but user can use it for debug/test and so on; and since it has not been deleted, please ensure that it functions available;

And Please refer the rpc.nfsd implement:
    if can not turn off give reason for user. if no reason fix it.

In fact nfs4 need not rpc.mountd as a rpc server, just as a userland daemon listen on the local rpc cache file; right?
