           Summary: DOS in combination with cups/nfsserver rpc.mountd
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: wine-winelib
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: haveaniceday(a)online.de


I had multiple the following situation:
- nfsserver ( rpc.mountd ) started first
- random port number used by rpc.mountd: 631  ( cups-port )
- wine hangs due to miscommunication with rpc.mountd => no start of wine

This is no real "wine" error !  Workaround for me: add fixed port to rpc.mountd

But I suggest to "harden" wine against wrong "cups port answers". rpc.mountd
listen on port 631 should not result in a permanent denial of start.
This problem might be hard to be found remotely on a beginners system.

Best regards,

Christian
