MountReserved: NFS mount daemon operating on a non-reserved port

[Christina Martin]

I've read the one other thread on this subject that came up when I did a search; , and the solution in that situation isn't working for us.

I'm running a 11.0 system (and soon upgrading to a 11i version 2 system) and need to know how to go about resolving this issue.

This is the Tru64 UNIX forum. You'll probably have better luck if you ask your question in the HP-UX forum.

Hi Christina,

I believe the message is informative and legimate and no need to worry about.
HP-UX conforms to the SUN standard by operating rpc.mountd daemon on a non-reserved port for TCP and UDP with ONC/NFS patch.

Can you check the patch ID of ONC/NFS patch installed on the system using
# show_patches -a | grep ONC

Before this conformation, HP-UX used to use reserved or priviledged ports ( TCP and UDP) numbered lower than 1024 by default for "rpc.mountd" and provided "-p" option for running from unreserved ports.

After applying that patch ( SUN conformation), no matter what rpc.mountd is running with or without "-p" option, it will run from non-reserved ports only.
If you have latest ONC/NFS patch installed, you would see "-p" as obsolute in the man page of mountd(1M) and the message maynot appear.

Thank you, I will check this out and see if we need to update our patches.
