I am currently running 1 HTTP server on FreeBSD 6.0

Offcourse, like anyone that likes security, i am running IPFW and set
the kernel to block by default.

Behind that HTTP server i am running 2 Linux boxes.

The problem is that when i enable the firewall and openup ports from
rpcinfo -p:

I opened up all these ports but i cant do an ls or write to nfs or
whatever.


You should not be running portmap and NFS on a firewall machine.  You should not
attempt to pass NFS or other filesharing through a firewall, except perhaps by
using VPN tunneling.

If this existing machine needs to do NFS to your other Linux boxes, it should be
placed behind a properly hardened firewall which perhaps uses NAT to forward
HTTP connections inside to it.


Let me explain more into detail;

I have:

INTERNET

FIREWALL/NFSD/HTTPD Machine

LINUXBOX    LINUXBOX

The boxes are on a /24 network and the firewall has 2 ip's 1 for local and 1 for outside connections, but both in the same subnet.

I want to use a $secure ip for nfsd and ssh connection, while using @arcas as an ip for port 80 connections

What i don't get is when i openup the $secureip for the /24 network i still get timeouts when writing to nfsd.

Mark.
