CentOS - Dec 2009 - mountd and statd at specific ports - nfs firewall

Hi,

I am configuring firewall for NFS.
I see that statd and mountd start at random port. Is there any way to
force it to start at specific port each time. The '-p ' option would
work, but how do I configure it to start at specific port number each
time. I mean where do statd and mountd look for default configuration
options? Any clues?

look into the init scripts /etc/init.d/nfs (for mountd) and  
/etc/init.d/nfslock (for statd). Both scripts source the file  
/etc/sysconfig/nfs. There you can set the variables MOUNTD_PORT and  
STATD_PORT (among others).
