<PRE>For completeness;

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> Hi Jeff, it took a little more time than I thought but I have found
</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> <A HREF="https://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190">https://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190</A>
</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.
