"rpcbind" used to be "portmap". You would need the portreserve daemon available, installed, and started at the right time during your boot sequence. So that's only a hackish workaround. On Debian (Ubuntu, other derivatives) you'd simply add a line to /etc/bindresvport.blacklist. But that may fail as well, there have been reports where this was ignored for some reason. So that again is just a workaround. If you know exactly what will register with portmap (rpcbind), you can tell those services to request fixed ports instead. Typically you do, and those are just a few nfs related services. So just edit /etc/sysconfig/* or /etc/defaults/* to e.g. include -o and -p options for rpc.statd, and similar. This really is a fix, as long as you know all services that are started before heartbeat, and can tell them to use specific ports. -- : Lars Ellenberg : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : DRBD/HA support and consulting http://www.linbit.com _______________________________________________________ Linux-HA-Dev: [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha-dev Home Page: http://linux-ha.org/
