Hi,
I see that statd and mountd start at random port. Is there any way to force it to start at specific port each time. The '-p ' option would work, but how do I configure it to start at specific port number each time. I mean where do statd and mountd look for default configuration options? Any clues?
look into the init scripts /etc/init.d/nfs (for mountd) and /etc/init.d/nfslock (for statd). Both scripts source the file /etc/sysconfig/nfs. There you can set the variables MOUNTD_PORT and STATD_PORT (among others).
