mountd daemon is running over a non reserved port on a Windows server

Asked by jehrbear in NFS File Server, Miscellaneous Security, Windows Network Security

Tags: , ,

I have several Windows 2000 and 2003 servers running Microsoft Windows Services for Unix 3.5 to share out a mount point for several Sun servers.  Everything works just fine, but......A recent ISS Internet Security Scan showed these servers as having the following vulnerability:
MountdReserved: NFS mount daemon operating on an non-reserved port
The mountd daemon is running over a non-reserved port. This daemon is probably vulnerable to port hijacking and should be moved to a reserved port.

Does anyone know if this is a configurable parameter?
