And these firewall persons were probably stateful (by themselves or by connection to AAA system) firewall evangelists? => by themselves: they are proud to offer one of the first firewalls with portmap/rpcbind spoofing (i.e. the firewall looks at the port negociated by portmap/rpcbind and opens a little door for it). As I already said, IMHO stateful firewalls do a better job than stateless firewalls (and I prefer to have *no* firewall on the network I use, specially no firewall managed by another person :-). We are leaving the mailing list scope...
