[Firehol-support] NFS on Debian Sid

[Russel Winder]

In the past I have been able to use Firehol to allow for NFS access to
my server. However there must have been updates to the way NFS is
handled on Debian Sid since I last ran "firehol start" as it now gives
me this error:

 ERROR : # 1
WHEN   : Getting RPC information from server 'localhost'
WHY    :  Cannot find statd ports for nfs server 'localhost' 
COMMAND: server dhcp\ dns\ upnp\ mediatomb\ nfs\ rsync\ samba accept
src 192.168.1.0/24 
MODE   : ipv4
SOURCE : 20@/etc/firehol/firehol.conf: server:


---------------------------------------------------------------------

 ERROR : # 2
WHEN   : Getting RPC information from server 'localhost'
WHY    :  Complex service 'nfs' returned an error (1). 
COMMAND: server dhcp\ dns\ upnp\ mediatomb\ nfs\ rsync\ samba accept
src 192.168.1.0/24 
MODE   : ipv4
SOURCE : 20@/etc/firehol/firehol.conf: server:

Even though

NEED_STATD=YES

is the line in /etc/defaults/nfs-common, it seems this no longer starts
an rcp.statd process:

# ps ax | grep rpc
  500 ?        S<     0:00 [rpciod]
  552 ?        Ss     0:00 /sbin/rpcbind -f -w
  588 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd --manage-gids
29648 pts/1    S+     0:00 grep rpc

Indeed there is no statd executable any more:

# ll /usr/sbin/*rpc*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  54536 Nov 12 17:25 /usr/sbin/grpck*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  46216 Nov 12 17:25 /usr/sbin/grpconv*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  11224 Aug 13  2014 /usr/sbin/rpcdebug*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  81432 Aug 13  2014 /usr/sbin/rpc.gssd*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  32416 Aug 13  2014 /usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  27128 Nov 10  2015 /usr/sbin/rpcinfo*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 262496 Aug 13  2014 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  19872 Aug 13  2014 /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  31520 Aug 13  2014 /usr/sbin/rpc.svcgssd*

I am assuming I am doing something wrong, the question is what. Any
constructive help greatfully accepted
