+.B -d
+By default,
+.B rpc.statd
+sends logging messages via
+.BR syslog (3)

+instead. This option is mainly for debugging purposes, and may only
+be used in conjunction with the
+.B -F
+parameter.
+.TP

+.TP
+.BI "\-o," "" " \-\-outgoing\-port " port

+.BR portmap
+always or usually assigns. Specifying
+a port may be useful when implementing a firewall.
