Hello everyone

I found that the NFS server in the 5.x series (currently 5.1) crashes
during portscans (because of the aborted connection to it).
Running nmap or Nessus against the machines requires a manual restart of
nfsd.

Do others here also have this problem?

I reproduced it on 5.0-RELEASE and 5.1-RELEASE.

Kind regards

Guy
