Public bug reported:

=== Release Version ===

Ubuntu 22.04


=== Package Version ===

nfs-utils 1:2.6.1-1ubuntu1


=== Custom Settings ===

In order to use NFSv3 client (e.g. on Windows 10) to mount the
directories exported by the NFS server behind a firewall, I need to
specify fixed ports to be used by /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd and
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd. This was done by the following steps:

In /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server:
RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--manage-gids --port 32767"
RPCNFSDOPTS="--nfs-version 3,4"

In /etc/default/nfs-common:
STATDOPTS="--port 32766 --outgoing-port 32765"

Then I restarted NFS server:
systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server


=== Expected Results ===

The output of "rpcinfo -p" should show something similar to the
following messages:

   program vers proto   port  service
    100000    4   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    3   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    4   udp    111  portmapper
    100000    3   udp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100005    1   udp  32767  mountd
    100005    1   tcp  32767  mountd
    100005    2   udp  32767  mountd
    100005    2   tcp  32767  mountd
    100005    3   udp  32767  mountd
    100005    3   tcp  32767  mountd
    100024    1   udp  32766  status
    100024    1   tcp  32766  status
    100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
    100003    4   tcp   2049  nfs
    100227    3   tcp   2049
    100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
    100227    3   udp   2049
    100021    1   udp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    3   udp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    4   udp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    1   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    3   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    4   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
    150001    1   udp    835  pcnfsd
    150001    2   udp    835  pcnfsd
    150001    1   tcp    836  pcnfsd
    150001    2   tcp    836  pcnfsd

Above messages are the output of the NFS server on Ubuntu 20.04 which
shows the desired ports are used to mountd and statd daemons.


Actual results:

However, the actual output of "rpcinfo -p" on Ubuntu 22.04 shows the
following:

   program vers proto   port  service
    100000    4   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    3   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    4   udp    111  portmapper
    100000    3   udp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100024    1   udp  33937  status
    100024    1   tcp  60673  status
    100005    1   udp  43042  mountd
    100005    1   tcp  60125  mountd
    100005    2   udp  48157  mountd
    100005    2   tcp  39195  mountd
    100005    3   udp  50182  mountd
    100005    3   tcp  57251  mountd
    100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
    100003    4   tcp   2049  nfs
    100227    3   tcp   2049
    100021    1   udp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    3   udp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    4   udp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    1   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    3   tcp  32768  nlockmgr
    100021    4   tcp  32768  nlockmgr

Obvisouly, the ports used by mountd and statd are different from the
specified values. Moreover, after each restart, the ports numbers also
change. This means that random ports are assigned.


=== Possible Causes ===

I checked out the systemd configuration files in use and found the
following clues:

/lib/systemd/system/nfs-kernel-server.service:
In 20.04: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd $RPCNFSDARGS
In 22.04: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd

/lib/systemd/system/nfs-mountd.service:
In 20.04: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd $RPCMOUNTDARGS
In 22.04: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

/lib/systemd/system/nfs-kernel-server.service:
In 20.04: ExecStart=/sbin/rpc.statd --no-notify $STATDARGS
In 22.04: ExecStart=/sbin/rpc.statd

So, I think above differences could possibly explain why fixed ports can
be specified for the NFS server in 20.04 but not in 22.04.
