Subject: Random UDP port assignment for rpc.statd
Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2005 12:13:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050220111312.GA3974@s> (raw)

Why isn't it possible to specify all of statd's listening ports
using the -p flag?  It works for the TCP port and one of the
UDP ports, but there is always one more listening UDP port that
is randomly assigned.  I googled around for information on this
problem, and came up with this Debian bug report:

  http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg11985.html

The thread ends with "I think we may have a real bug", but this
was reported in 1.0.6, and the problem still persists in 1.0.7,
so I was wondering if this isn't a bug after all.

Btw, there's also a similar problem with nfsd:  In addition to
the standard listening port at 2049, it always opens a random
port in the high port range (32000-32768 or something like that).

In case it matters:  I'm using Linux 2.6.10 and Slackware 10.1.
