Hi,
I have *almost* got NFS mounts happening, but am puzzled by the
following problem.
On the server, I have configured
/etc/exports
/etc/host.allow
to allow access to portmap from the client. Also
portmap
nfs
daemons are running.
On the client, I have configured
/etc/fstab
to mount the /home directory on the server thus:
foo:/home /mnt/home nfs noauto,_netdev,ro 0 0
It actually works fine -- until I start ipchains. Then attempts
to mount time-out. I see (from netstat and log files) that the
NFS server is attempting to talk to the client on some random,
but privileged, port number in the range 500 -- 1000, approx.
This conflicts with my client firewall configuration, in which
only a small number of specific ports in the privileged range
are open.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would have expected that
the client's nfs could be induced to listen on a specified
port, but can't find any way to achieve this. I must be
missing something....
Thanks in advance.
