I don't know whether this should be a gnome-boxes bug, an rpcbind bug, or a FESCo ticket, or something else, so I'm asking here. rpcbind enables itself by default. This page says that it has a specific exception, so it's okay: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Starting_services_by_default I assume that the exception comes from the idea that server systems probably want it on if they've installed it. That may make sense in some contexts. Alas, libvirt-daemon-kvm requires libvirt-daemon-driver-storage, which requires nfs-utils, and nfs-utils requires rpcbind. gnome-boxes, in turn, requires libvirt-daemon-kvm, resulting in this: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 774/rpcbind tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:20048 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 887/rpc.mountd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:875 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 930/rpc.rquotad *on my laptop* IMO this is bad. Should I file a FESCo ticket asking to revoke the rpcbind and nfs-utils exceptions? Should I file a bug against libvirt? --Andy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
