Hi Jean-Marc,

* Jean-Marc LACROIX <jeanmarc.lacroix@free.fr> [2025-07-27 23:43]:
>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.

This is no longer supported as stated in the NEWS file:

https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/nfs-common.NEWS?ref_type=heads

The complete removal was done here:

https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/commit/6824312704bc066b5867b9777695e46cce52dcbc

So maybe this needs an other NEWS entry and/or mention in the 
release-notes.

Cheers Jochen
