+The fixed package, nfs-utils-1.2.3-2.2.mga1, is in core update-testing
+so it should hit core updates soon.

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the cause and the cure for the problem with nfs-server function on
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Mageia 1. In the process I learned how to use an rpm source package to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> patch and rebuild the offending file for the nfs-utils package.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Tomorrow; the World!
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> First up, the problem is well known and of quite some vintage. It only
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> affected nfs-utils v1.2.3 so versions just prior and subsequent (as in
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> v1.2.5 in Mageia 2 Cauldron) are OK. Hence the Mandriva 2010.2 worked
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> as did my MGA2 Beta1 server.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> This reference tells the whole story;

+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> So the proposed fix was first seen in October 2010. I have used the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> proposed patch to rebuild the nfs-utils-1.2.3-2.1.mga1 package and it
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> works perfectly well with the --ports option for rpc.mountd.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Very good.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In the course of all this I can confirm your observation that in a
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> fresh MGA1 install of the nfs server the RPCMOUNTD_OPTIONS= entry is
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> blank in /etc/sysconfig/nfs-server. My guess is that it is only set to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> a specific port number when you use the personal firewall with a hole
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> for NFS. I don't see how you could configure the firewall if the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> listening port were to be some random value, so I reckon it's a good
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> guess.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I'll report this bug for the MGA1 package and we should have the fixed
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> version out quite soon.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> This is an age old issue with these tools since they were originally
+</I>&gt;<i> designed to use random ports prior to the common use of client
+</I>&gt;<i> firewalls. I've been hacking their config files since I first started
+</I>&gt;<i> using Linux to force them to use specific ports and it's always been a
+</I>&gt;<i> PITA. As annoying as these issues are they are at least not as bad as
+</I>&gt;<i> trying to get Samba to work in a heterogeneous network. Glad you got it
+</I>&gt;<i> figured out.
