Re: [suse-security] ip localport range

I know that the linux implementation of NFS uses port 2049. So on my solaris machines I have to set the tcp_smallest_nonpriv_port to 2050. I never did understand why it ran NFS, which should be on a priviledged port, on a high port. So there is another reason to protect ports <2050. -- James F.
