In short term, this command should restart rpc.statd which will probably bind to a different port: # service nfslock restart After that, you can restart krb5kdc and it should get its free port (it might take some minutes if the port gets to the TIME_WAIT state). In long term, you can add the following variable definition to /etc/sysconfig/nfs (you will probably have to create this file): STATD_PORT=2053 This will bind rpc.statd to a fixed port (2053 in my case). I also used this file to fix all the other ports of NFS related daemons: LOCKD_TCPPORT=2050 LOCKD_UDPPORT=2050 RQUOTAD_PORT=2051 MOUNTD_PORT=2052 STATD_PORT=2053 STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=2054 I started them at 2050 as nfsd itself will use 2049. That way I can allow NFS traffic through the firewall by allowing ports 2049-2054 for both TCP and UDP in both directions. HTH, Filipe
