NFS is difficult to firewall, as it's not guaranteed to use the same ports all the time. The NFS server has options to restrict who can connect, see the man page for exports. Othwerwise, Chuck's advice was good. Additionally, you can debug IPFW using 'ipfw show', and by inserting "log" statements into your ruleset to get more useful feedback. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
