A couple of RHEL5 books I'm reading at the moment suggest port numbers
above 1024 for statd, lockd, mountd and rquotad (eg 38001-38006 or
32764-32767) when configuring NFS to work with a firewall.
The default /etc/sysconfig/nfs on CentOS5 however has defaults under
1024, such as
mountd 892
statd 662
rquotad 875
Is there something security-related going on here that I'm not aware of,
or some other explanation? Neither text mentions the use of ports under
1024 at all.
Thanks
Mick
