Bug Description
There might be historic reasons to explain this strange behavior, but nowadays, no one needs some dynamic/random service ports to be open on his/her system.
The way to make these ports static is explained here: https:/
These guidelines should be ***natively configured*** on Ubuntu. It's easy to pick a port range which will never be assigned by IANA.
On top of that,we would be able to control all NFS communications with ufw/gufw or any other firewall.
