  • 1.  NFS - rpc.statd fixed IP port

    Hi folks.

    from security reason i’m trying to configure rpc.statd to use fixed IP port over portmap. I configured all others NFS daemon except rpc.statd. For this daemon i can't find any working solution. When rpc.statd is started, it get always dynamic port by portmapper, what's wrong situation in firewall environment, where i need to configure only fixed IP port for communication of this daemon.

    thanks.

    I'm experiencing the same issue. Every NFS daemon can be "pinned" to a port but statd. This is a showstopper for doing NFS through a firewall. Is there any way to configure statd to behave like lockd, or any patches that would help with this problem?

    It's 2011, AIX 7.1 was released some time ago and there is still no such feature in rpc.statd.
    Looks like IBM wants us to use NFSv4 instead?

    Slightly depressed,
