[rhn-users] NFS over TCP

Does anyone know how to start the NFS server so that it listens using TCP 
instead of UDP? I'm trying to use port forwarding in SSH to allow a remote 
machine to mount an exported filesystem. However, SSH port forwarding only 
works with TCP, and my understanding is that it won't work out of the box 
with NFS because the NFS server uses UDP by default. 

So any idea how to make the NFS server listen over TCP?

Thanks,
