In playing with Windows 7 Beta and its built-in Client for NFS, I've
noticed, for some reason, it using hundreds of TCP connections to the sunrpc
and nfsd ports on my 4.4-stable box-and this usually happens shortly after
making an NFS connection to the machine.  Granted, I know this is
Windows-and it is beta-but I found it interesting how a single Windows
client is readily able to DoS the portmapper.

 

Any thoughts on identifying/addressing/working around the issue are
appreciated.
