Bug#1109999: [nfs-common] default option (${STATDOPTS}) is not used

Show all headers | View raw

Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:2.8.3-1
Severity: grave

Dear mainteners,

In order to increase (a little !) security, and as defined into 
http://wiki.debian.org/SecuringNFS, it is a good practice to defined one 
static port for nfs-stad daemon.

This feature is available in the man. Furthermore, it is implemented 
into /etc/default/nfs-common into variable STATDOPTS.

But is seems that /etc/init/nfs-common script has forgotten to use this 
variable when launching daemon. As a result it is not possible to change 
ANY option available for this daemon.


On debian bookwoorm, it works.
