rpc.rquotad is using port number 993
I have just uncommented the line in the /etc/dovecot.conf
Code:
protocols imaps imap pop3 pop3s In /etc/exports; I just exported a directory I did start the nfs service & portmap service without any problem. But; when i tried to start the dovecot service; the following error occurred. Code:
Stopping Dovecot Imap: [FAILED] Code:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2485/rpc.rquotad I am unable to understand; why rpc.rquotad is using 993 port? |

This does not happen normally, what you can try is - first stop nfs service - verify whether 993 is port is freed or not - start dovecot service - start nfs service I think this will work. |
from the man page on BSD
"The port that the service is made available on can be specified using the nfs.server.rquota.port option in nfs.conf(5)." The man page for my linux distribution does not mention this, it only mentions using the -p flag to specify an arbitrary port. |
nfs uses random ports unless you tell it to use fixed ports. Indeed you can configure your own port numbers in your sysconfig/nfs (your nfs config file)

This worked :)

1) So; does this means; that NFS service is so brazen; that it would use even the IANA port assignments. in the name of random assigning of the ports.? Following statement is found in RFC 1700. Quote:
- first stop portmap service - verify whether the assigned port is freed or not - start new service - start portmap service. Any other opinions are welcome. :) |
I'm a bit late on replying, but this thread was recently referenced in a support post elsewhere, so I thought the information could be useful here. Have a look at http://rlworkman.net/howtos/NFS_Firewall_HOWTO for some discussion on binding NFS-related stuff to specific ports.
