Description Karel Srot 2012-02-15 08:14:31 UTC 
In RHEL6 some nfs-utils services are using ports withing range 500-1023 not registered at IANA. This might lead to conflicts with port reservation.

Consider registering these default ports by IANA http://www.iana.org/ or use ports outside this range.
Comment 1 Karel Srot 2012-02-15 08:21:03 UTC 
in /etc/sysconfig/nfs potential risk of conflicts on 892 (rpc.mountd) , 662 (rpc.statd) and 875 (rquotad), all commented out by default, none of these registered in IANA
Comment 2 Karel Srot 2012-02-15 08:26:19 UTC 
Forgot to mention that port 662 is conflicting with pftp reservation
Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2014-03-22 07:08:12 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
