If no ports are specified at all, then in the case of statd, it looks like two different ports are being assigned (by portmapper I assume) to listen for requests - one for tcp and one for udp. Is this a correct statement? I was just looking for a way to confirm my setting of STATD_PORT and STATD_OUTGOING_PORT and got all bothered when I couldn't see STATD_OUTGOING_PORT with rcpinfo. If I'm setting up a firewall that is only dealing with incoming, then maybe I shouldn't be worried about setting STATD_OUTGOING_PORT eh? Regards, Stu.
