Description Maurizio Disimino 2002-10-27 04:06:14 UTC

rpc.statd, rpc.mountd and rpc.rquotad, will normally move around to
the first available port they are informed of by the portmapper.

To let people force these daemons to bind to a particular port using 
the -p portnum option, we might use /etc/conf.d/nfs. Atm, we're able to pass
such options only for rpc.mountd.

# Options to pass to rpc.mountd
RPCMOUNTDOPTS=""

This little improvement would make firewalling operations easier!

Maurizio

If you could work me up something, I don't use NFS very much, and I know you're
very capable, moreso than I :) I'll get it implemented
