Hi, In according to: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/security.html#FIREWALLS one way to force statd to fixed ports is with the -p and -o options. So I added STATDOPTS="-p 854 -o 856" to /etc/init.d/nfs-common. [...]
Did you add that line before the invoking of /etc/default/nfs-common or after. Perhaps you should examine /etc/default/nfs-common, as that might be a better place for your settings. Note: I've never explicitly used rpc.statd or nfs. I just looked at the scripts on my system./etc/init.d/nfs-common has code to invoke /etc/default/nfs-common. /etc/default/nfs-common sets STATDOPTS. If you set STATDOPTS before the invokation of /etc/default/nfs-common, your settings will be lost.
