[PATCH] (revised) nfs-utils: start-statd script using incompatible file descriptor

[Daniel Pocock <daniel@pocock.pro>]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 375 bytes --]



The current script uses fd 200, doesn't work for every possible shell as
reported[1] in Debian bug #848277

We are including a patch for it in the 1.3.4-2 package, it would be good
to incorporate this patch upstream too.

This patch has been revised to include a brief description and
signed-off-by.

Regards,

Daniel

POSIX.1-2008 only specifies that file descriptor numbers
from 0 to 9, inclusive, are supported.  The number 200 works
in the bash shell, but not in dash.  This patch changes the file
descriptor number from 200 to 9.  Reported in Debian bug #848277
