It defines the ports for the various daemons to use. # Created 05.07.05 by Tony Molloy # based on work by Christopher K. Johnson ( dorigo.net ) RPCNFSDCOUNT=32 # ports for statd daemon STATD_PORT=4000 STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=4004 # ports for lockd daemon LOCKD_TCPPORT=4001 LOCKD_UDPPORT=4001 # ports for mountd daemon #MOUNTD_NFS_V2=no #MOUNTD_NFS_V3=no MOUNTD_PORT=4002 # ports for rquota daemon #RQUOTAD=no RQUOTAD_PORT=4003 Make sure you allow access to these daemons in your /etc/hosts.allow file and through your firewall.
