[Bug 28706] Re: need way to specify the lockd port

[DaneM]

I found this while searching the mountd man pages:

-P portnum or --port portnum
               Makes mountd listen on port portnum instead of some random port.
               By  default,  mountd will listen on the mount/udp port specified
               in /etc/services, or, if that is undefined,  on  some  arbitrary
               port number below 1024.

(note the CAPITAL "P")

I looked in /etc/services (on jaunty) and saw this:

sunrpc		111/tcp		portmapper	# RPC 4.0 portmapper
sunrpc		111/udp		portmapper
...
nfs		2049/tcp			# Network File System
nfs		2049/udp			# Network File System

Do you think it would wok if you were to open those ports in the
firewall (assuming you haven't already)?  I think that once the
connection is established, the random port number becomes an
established/related connection.  I could be wrong.  It's been a long
time since I've messed with all this.
