Configure statd to use static port

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Configure the statd daemon to use a static 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:

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

Rationale

Restricting services to always use a given port enables firewalling to be done more effectively.
