Neil, Here is a kernel patch that will enable the setting of the port knfsd will listens on, the transport knfsd will support and which NFS version will be advertised. The nfs-utils patch, which is also attached, will added the following flags to rpc.nfsd that will enable the kernel functionality (Note: These patches are NOT dependent on each other. Meaning rpc.nfsd and knfsd will still function correctly if one or the other patch do or do not exist): -N or --no-nfs-version vers This option can be used to request that rpc.nfsd does not offer certain versions of NFS. The current version of rpc.nfsd can support both NFS version 2,3 and the newer version 4. -T or --no-tcp Disable rpc.nfsd from accepting TCP connections from clients. -U or --no-udp Disable rpc.nfsd from accepting UDP connections from clients. Also Note: Both patches are in the latest release of the FC4 and Rawhide which has definitely helped in the testing of these patches. Please consider the kernel patch for inclusion for both the -mm and mainline kernels. steved.
