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 Steps to Reproduce:
There is an upstream bug for it.
