Summary

r376026 added a new "-R" option to mountd, which tells it to
not support the Mount protocol (not used by NFSv4) and not
register with rpcbind.
Rpcbind is considered a security issue by some sites now.

This patch adds a new yes/no variable called nfsv4_server_only.
When that is set, make vfs.nfsd.server_min_vers=4 and set "=R"
for mountd.
Setting vfs.nfsd.server_min_vers=4 tells nfsd to not register with rpcbind.

Test Plan

Tested both nfsv4_server_only set to "NO" and "YES".
When set to "YES" everything seemed to work without
rpcbind running.

Seems fine in general, but I've not tested it.

I was wondering if required_modules=nfsd would work instead but required_modules is processed after precmd...

I wonder if this line is needed. rc_flags seems to be set to ${name}_flags by default.

Test program:

. /etc/rc.subr

name=test
rcvar=test_enable

test_enable=yes

test_flags="1 2 3"

start_precmd="precmd"
command=/bin/echo

precmd() {
    echo rc_flags: "$rc_flags"

}

run_rc_command "$1"

Results;

rc_flags: 1 2 3
Starting test.

We are overriding rc_flags here. That's probably bad, isn't it?

Deleted the assignment of rc_flags as suggested.
I had assumed that nfs_server_enable would be YES
whenever nfsv4_server_only is YES, but that was not correct.

This version handles the case where nfsv4_server_only is YES
and nfs_server_enable is NO.
It also prints out a message when weak_mountd_authentication
and nfsv4_server_only are both YES, noting that
weak_mountd_authentication is being ignored.

Marked inline comments as done and added an inline comment.

Yes, good point. I had assumed that nfs_server_enable would be YES
whenever nfsv4_server_only is YES, but that assumption is not correct.
This version checks for this case and also prints out a message if
both nfsv4_server_only and weak_mountd_authentication are YES.
(weak_mountd_authentication is meaningless if mountd isn't doing
the Mount protocol.)

Och, BTW, don't we want to exit here if we fail to load? I am not sure if that's already the case.

Hmm, wait. I might be mistaken, but I think you've addressed a different bug :D

Shouldn't we have rc_flags="${rc_flags} -n" here to preserve flags set by the user?

(But then, this is not part of this revision, so I guess we can address it next time)

Add checks for load_kld failing to both mountd and nfsd.
To be honest, nfsd has never had the check and, since
both /usr/sbin/mountd and /usr/sbin/nfsd do check for
nfsd.ko being loaded, checking in the rc.d script isn't
critical, I think?

True, I didn't know about it. It's probably better to fail as soon as possible anyway.

I think I've got no further comments regarding this revision :)

BTW, we should probably mention in the commit message why we add tlsclntd tlsservd.

Oops, change specific to NFS over TLS slipped into last version.

Updated to remove change that is specific to NFS over TLS that
slipped into previous revision.
