statd not binding to outgoing-port

[Hugo Vanwoerkom <hvw59601@care2.com>]

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.

But checking with:
netstat -tnupl

I get:
...
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:854             0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN     5381/rpc.statd
...
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:854             0.0.0.0:*
       5381/rpc.statd
...

which is only half right.

I found a query about this on the nfs-mailing list:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-nfs&m=103547835112190&w=1

but that got never answered.

Anybody have an answer?

Thanks!
