Re: Fw: Client looses NFS handle (kernel 2.6.3)

[Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>]

The "Can't bind to reserved port" error message looks like the known
problem when you set CONFIG_SECURITY. It has been discussed several
times already on l-k.

Please either disable CONFIG_SECURITY (it's not as if *that* is going to
be a showstopper when migrating to 2.6.x from 2.4.x) or go to my website
and apply the advertised fix:

Cheers,
