To use fixed ports with NFS and enhance network security, set the port for the mount daemon mountd . Edit the service.xml in the openthinclient-manager directory <Manager-Home>/nfs/service.xmlby setting the <mountdPort> value of 0 (for dynamic assignment) to a fixed value. This configuration causes NFS to use this port for mount operations, allowing the firewall to remain open only for this single port.
