Hi,

I have inherited an application which is demanding the same UDP port as NFS,


NFS uses the first available ports at boot;

rpcinfo -p
   program vers proto   port
    100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
    100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
    100024    1   udp  32768  status
    100024    1   tcp  32768  status
    100021    1   udp  32769  nlockmgr
    100021    3   udp  32769  nlockmgr
    100021    4   udp  32769  nlockmgr
    391002    2   tcp  32769  sgi_fam

The app I have starts with the following error; and the port allocation
cannot be changed for this app.

ERROR binding port : 32768
ERROR: Error while running rrcp daemon:
  rrcpW_InetSocket : failed to bind() inet address, (errno=98). 
 Maybe a similar instance of rrcpd is already running

On Solaris8 this can be resolved by adding the following to a start script
in rc2.d
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/udp udp_smallest_anon_port 32800

But Linux does not support ndd
After looking about for a while I found
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
which would appear to allow you to set this range but each time I modify the
file and reboot the file gets changed back !

Any ideas or pointers as to how I could make this change permanent would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Richard
