On a fedora system put the following in /etc/sysconfig/nfs. It defines the
ports for the various daemons to use.
# Created 05.07.05 by Tony Molloy
# based on work by Christopher K. Johnson ( dorigo.net )
RPCNFSDCOUNT=32
# ports for statd daemon
STATD_PORT=4000
STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=4004
# ports for lockd daemon
LOCKD_TCPPORT=4001
LOCKD_UDPPORT=4001
# ports for mountd daemon
#MOUNTD_NFS_V2=no
#MOUNTD_NFS_V3=no
MOUNTD_PORT=4002
# ports for rquota daemon
#RQUOTAD=no
RQUOTAD_PORT=4003
Make sure you allow access to these daemons in your /etc/hosts.allow file
and through your firewall.
