Bug Description

Invoking <code>showmount -e 192.168.0.1</code> gives the output <code>clnt_create: RPC: Program not registered</code> when one of the services rpc.svcgssd, rpc.mountd, nfsd or rpc.rquotad isn't started[http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/82290/linux-clnt-create-rpc-program-not-registered] or due to another error. The output could be much more helpful, because currently it isn't at all.

It should at least be recognizable whether the error occured locally or on remote communication point.
