unable to send TCP SYNs from ports lower than 1024

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is anyone else seeing this?  This issue prevents NFS client mounting,
since the NFS client wants to use source ports below 1024

Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-35-generic #50~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 4
17:25:51 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

As I analyze, I use netcat plus wireshark to validate, with wireshark
running on both the client machine and on a second machine plugged
into the local Ethernet switch's SPAN port

This invocation produces outbound TCP SYNs in both traces:
ubuntu# nc -4 -p 1024 10.1.1.1 2049

Whereas this invocation produces TCP SYNs only in the on-board pcap --
the pcap taken from the switch's SPAN port contains nothing (well, it
contains the ARP exchange with10.1.1.1, but no TCP frames).
ubuntu# nc -4 -p 1023 10.1.1.1 2049

I have some evidence to suggest that it appeared in 3.8.0-33 or higher
