Hi

At my company, we have a redhat 9 server which is a nfs and nis
server. It handles our logins and home-dirs. After updating my Fedora
3 machine with util-linux, i cannot log on anymore. In my log it says:

Mar 31 13:58:54 localhost automount[5900]: >> mount to NFS server
'artemis' failed: server is down.
Mar 31 13:58:54 localhost automount[5900]: >> mount: backgrounding
"artemis:/export/home/espens"

But the server isn't down.

If i replace the new util-linux rpm, with the old one, it works fine.

Does anybody know why??

I suspect that the fix for bug #141773 (which is presumably a security issue because bugzilla won't let me see it) mentioned in the changelog for the updated package has introduced this problem:


* Fri Feb 25 2005 <SteveD@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.12a-20

- Changed nfsmount to only use reserve ports when necessary
  (bz# 141773)


I've just observed the exact same problem with my RH9 NFS server and also with an HP-UX 11 server, though my RHEL3 and FC3 servers are unaffected.


I suspect it might be possible to work around this by convincing nfsmount that using the reserved ports is "necessary" for the older servers, but I haven't figured out how to do this yet.
