Bug 340797 – net-fs/nfs-utils-1.2.3 static port bind fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John J. Aylward 2010-10-13 04:12:22 UTC]

in /etc/conf.d/nfs setting
OPTS_RPC_MOUNTD="-p 32767"

will cause /etc/init.d/nfs to display the following messages:
 * Starting NFS mountd ...
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address
rpc.mountd: svc_tli_create: could not bind to requested address                                        [ ok ]

connections from clients then fail to connect with a "mount(2) permission denied" message.

prior to starting the nfs service the port was available, after starting the service netstat shows:
sudo netstat -lap | grep mountd
tcp        0      0 *:32767                 *:*                     LISTEN      17848/rpc.mountd    
udp        0      0 *:32767                 *:*                                 17848/rpc.mountd


when the -p flag isn't used and the service is started netstat shows:
$ sudo netstat -lap | grep mountd
tcp        0      0 *:43245                 *:*                     LISTEN      18327/rpc.mountd    
udp        0      0 *:60772                 *:*                                 18327/rpc.mountd

and no errors are reported.

Prior to 1.2.3 the -p flag worked as expected with no errors.

Reproducible: Always
