After I tuned the kernel to increase the per process max file descriptors (as decumented in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/proc.txt), portmap/nfs failed to run. H.J. Lu thinks it is a glibc bug where the file descriptor is hardcoded with 1024. Can you please contact him so that a glibc rpm can be produced to fix this problem? Thanks! Frank
