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.
