Description Martin Donnelly 2006-08-02 11:07:58 UTC
Description of problem:

All NFS related RPC daemons are configurable by creating the appropriate entries
in /etc/sysconfig/nfs with the exception of rpc.rquotad which results in having
to edit the init script directly. 

This ability to configure the NFS RPC daemons port usage is critical in our
environment since we need to firewall these services and editing the init script
is undesireable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

quota-3.10-8

Additional info:

The following (untested) patch should do something sensible:

16 months without a response from redhat and then the bug is closed.  Truly
appalling levels of support.
