I was confused by your original report. Before, I read that with the commit mentioned above, /etc/services started working, then it stopped at some later point. Now you seem to be saying that /etc/services always worked this way, but with the commit above, it stops working. I've filed a bugzilla to track the issue: https://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200 If you can find documentation that describes this feature (ie makes it a formal API, or describes any other details about its operation we should know of), or know of a widely deployed application of mountd or statd that requires it, please do let us know, or modify the bugzilla report. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
