Bonjour,

Yesterday, my nework printer did not work. After searching a little bit,
I discovered that rpcbind was squating port 631!

Why? And how to avoid this?

thanks.

You should be able to predefine the ports in /etc/sysconfig/nfs so that 
it doesn't pick a random port.

Thanks,

Alternatively, we should use portreserve[1] in Fedora so that CUPS (and
other services in a similar position) is able to prevent other daemons
from stealing ports before it has started.
