Mounting remote NFS mounts doesn't require allowing the server to query the local rpcbind, does it? I think you only need to allow remote access to rpcbind if you are exporting filesystems, at which point you are configuring things anyway, so configure rpcbind to listen on the network. I don't think this would be a big deal to require, since today you have to reconfigure the firewall if you are configuring an NFS server. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
