Hi,
Currently setting up an RHEL based NFS file server and am looking at
making sure our firewall is nice and tight, whilst still allowing the
necessary ports through for NFS traffic.
I was wondering why the /etc/sysconfig/nfs file didn't have an
appropriate option for specifying the port which rpc.rquotad ran on in a
similar fashion to mountd, lockd, statd.
Found the following defect, after I'd modified the /etc/init.d/nfs to
accomodate a -p option on rpc.rquotad. Looks like this won't be fixed
until the next release, despite the version in question being in RHEL3-u4.

Any chance someone could make some noise about this - the lack of
appropriate firewalling does make this a security issue of sorts.
Cheers,
Dg.
