Working on "resvport" mount option. Question occurred to me:
If I specify "noresvport" on a mount, can the client also use a non-
privileged port for the initial MNT request, and can it use it for the
NLM connection as well?
Question applies not just to Linux servers, but servers in general.
Brief searching on teh internets does not reveal a quick answer. I
think rpc.mountd will allow a non-privileged port for "insecure"
exports.
I think the answer is "yes, non-privileged ports can be used for MNT
and NLM if the server explicitly allows it" but I thought I would open
this up to the list.
