The last time I checked rpcbind was supposed to run on port 111

[root@hoover /home/gcooper]# uname -a

Is there some way to change the default port to something static?
manpage doesn't say so, but there may be an option.

Annoying, but it appears that some smbclients _need_ to have rpcbind's
port unblocked by a firewall; blocking it broke some functionality with
mounting SMB shares on non-Windows clients.

TIA,
