Port number for rstatd
[175 byte] By [leongyca] at [2007-11-27 0:41:12] 
Hi,Correct me if I'm wrong that rstatd uses port number randomly evey time it started? Can it be configured to use a fixed port number?Thanks in advance.

No. Rstatd uses the SunRPC services. Rpcbind listens on UDP port 111, and the port number is assigned by rpcbind.
Some time ago, Wietse Venema wrote a tcp-wrappers-aware version of the portmapper and rpcbind:

SOmeone feel free to correct me if there's a way to secure RPC these days.

Well, you can enable tcpwrapper for rpcbind, so that rpcbind cares about tcpwrapper settings.. .7/M.mAbrantea at 2007-7-11 22:54:37 >
