Dear Debian Developers, The newer 2.6 series kernels support configuring the TCP/UDP port number of the kernel lockd via the files /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nlm_tcpport and /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nlm_udpport.
Having a look on /etc/init.d/nfs-common and /etc/default/nfs-common (On Debian Sarge) I don't find any smart way to specify those ports. It would be great if we had an option to specify the ports on the file : /etc/default/nfs-common This is a very useful andn important thing when you are exporting NFS directories through an iptables firewall on the local machine. You have to bind nfs deamons to certain fixed ports. Obviously this isn't going to change in sarge, but it would be nice to see it on the next stable version. By the way, Sorry if this has been posted before. I did some searches like "sarge lockd /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nlm_tcpport site:debian.org" on google and it produced no relevant results.
