Whatever it defaulted to has always worked for me up until yesterday's update
to nfs-utils.  Whether it was using udp or tcp has never really been a concern
to me.

Again, it still seems to work fine when mounting a Centos 5 fileserver.  It
failed with my dedicated Intel fileserver until I added the "-o proto=udp" to
the mount line.   (I guess I'll have to start looking into how to get that
parameter into my /etc/fstab to prevent that from happening again the next
time this computer gets rebooted.)

Here is my note regarding how to make nfs work.  I have followed these
instructions on many Fedora and Centos machines and haven't seen it fail before:

HOW TO SET UP A FIREWALL THAT ALLOWS NFS

Create the file "/etc/sysconfig/nfs" and add the following contents:

STATD_PORT=4001
LOCKD_TCPPORT=4002
LOCKD_UDPPORT=4002
MOUNTD_PORT=4003

 Append the following to the file "/etc/services":

rquotad 4004/tcp # rpc.rquotad tcp port
rquotad 4004/udp # rpc.rquotad udp port

 Restart the nfs services

4001:tcp, 4001:udp, 4002:tcp, 4002:udp, 4003:tcp, 4003:udp, 4004:tcp,
4004:udp
