Re: Bug#638322: nfs-common: rpc.statd binds to udp port 631 preventing cups startup

[Russell Coker <russell@coker.com.au>]

Systems running SE Linux tend not to have this problem.  In most cases the 
daemons which use RPC services are not permitted to bind to any of the ports 
that are reserved for services and therefore such a bind attempt fails with 
EPERM, glibc will just decrement the port number and try again when this 
happens.

I mentioned this in the above blog post, I think it was in about 2002 that I 
wrote the policy to do this.
