Configure lockd to use static TCP port

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Configure the lockd daemon to use a static TCP port as opposed to letting the RPC Bind service dynamically assign a port. Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/nfs. Add or correct the following line:

LOCKD_TCPPORT=lockd-port
Where lockd-port is a port which is not used by any other service on your network.

Rationale

Restrict service to always use a given port, so that firewalling can be done effectively.
