Indeed. But IIRC one could force nfs to bind to specific ports.
Generally that would be a pain in the proverbial ...
However I encountered a situation where it might have been useful.

If you're at a medium security level, add port 111 to the list of
allowed ports.

If you're at a high security level, it may be impossible to get NFS to
work through your firewall, because the statd and mountd RPC services
may bind to arbitrary ports.

getting nfs working through the firewall

2002-11-26 Thread Ian
can anyone tell me (or point me to a link) that'll show me how i can get 
nfs working through ipchains/iptables ?

I opened the system settings - security level, and managed to get ssh 
working. But i dont know how to allow incoming nfs requests. I basically 
just need to allow incoming:
http
https
ssh
ftp
nfs

can anyone tell me how to do that using either the security level GUI or 
the command line iptables?

thanks,

Ian
