I believe portrelease is in use because of an outstanding bug I have from 2002 or so? The problem is that various RPC programs have a tendency to grab low ports (ypbind being the one that showed up nearly constantly for a month at the workplace) and cause CUPS (and various other utilities) to not work in various ways. If the systemd will make sure that ypbind, rpc.netstatd and other older generation programs do not grab other programs those requirements would not be needed. >> Bill, probably missing something > > Nope.
