I am trying to set up NFS on a LAN of RH7.3 (2.4.18-3) boxes with their ipchains firewalls running ("high" security, *not* trusting other machines connected to their eth0 port).
The NFS HOWTO describes in detail how to get NFS through an ipchains firewall by specifying which ports mountd, statd, and lockd use. I am starting mountd on port 32790 (from /etc/init.d/nfs), statd on -p=32791 and -o=32792 (from /etc/init.d/nfslock), and lockd on 32793 (from /etc/modules.conf). Having done this, something is still broken. For instance, here is the rejection log when host nova (192.168.48.150) tries to mount a partition on novus (192.168.48.151): Aug 15 15:19:25 nova automount[1109]: attempting to mount entry /nofs/novus Aug 15 15:19:25 nova kernel: Packet log: input REJECT eth0 PROTO=17 192.168.48.151:32790 192.168.48.150:715 L=84 S=0x00 I=0 F=0x4000 T=64 (#17) Here are the relevant ipchains lines: -A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 -j ACCEPT -f -A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 32790:32793 -p 6 -j ACCEPT -A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 32790:32793 -p 17 -j ACCEPT -A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 2049:2049 -p 6 -j ACCEPT -A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 2049:2049 -p 17 -j ACCEPT -A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 111:111 -p 6 -j ACCEPT -A input -s 192.168.48.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 111:111 -p 17 -j ACCEP Why is nova (...150) using port 715? This port is surely blocked by the ipchains firewall, resulting in the rejection. Shouldn't it be using port 32790? rpcinfo -p on nova shows that mountd is running on port 32790. Also, rpcinfo -p shows that "nlockmgr" is running on 32768. Is this relevant? Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.
