I left out the end of the scenario :(
As a result, afaict, of the IP missmatch, and both RPC GETPORT streams being
marked UNREPLIED, the Linux gateway box returns an ICMP PORT UNREACHABLE (there
being no such open port on the gateway box).

Debian Sid/Experimental

conntrack toolchain downloded yesterday (stable, not git)
I'm following the doc on conntrack-tools to enable RPC tracking (for NFS
support), and wind up with this state:
# nfct helper list
{
.name = rpc,
.queuenum = 0,
.l3protonum = 2,
.l4protonum = 6,
.priv_data_len = 16,
.status = disabled,
};
{
.name = rpc,
.queuenum = 0,
.l3protonum = 2,
.l4protonum = 17,
.priv_data_len = 16,
.status = disabled,
};
Why disabled? conntrackd startup went fine, the nfct helper add went fine,
what am I missing ?
And, of course, it doesn't work ;)
I may be royally screwed anyway - due to the bizarre situation I'm trying to
support...
LAN: 192.168/16 - mix of Linux, Windows, and AIX clients
Gateway: 192.168.1.205 (Linux Gateway/Firewall)
OpenConnect VPN to work (CISCO ASA client) - IBM
IBM network - GSA NFS Servers
The sticky point for a statefull firewall seems to be twofold:
1) AIX (at least 5.3) still does RPC mount lookups - even if NFSV4 and
port=2049 are specified
Which, it seems, is totally needless
2) The GSA infrastructure is layered, and littered with High Availability &
load balancing - but seems to break
extant rules...
- My LAN client does a RPC GETPORT (MOUNT -V3) to snjgsa.sanjose.ibm.com
- My firewall NATs the request
- The GSA mainline server delegates (forwards, whatever) to a disk sever
- The disk server (snjxgsasd2.sanjose.ibm.com) replies the RCP GETPORT request
At this point, we have two streams, with matching ports, but differing IP
sets, both in UNREPLIED status.
I am not at all sure, that even were I to get the RPC helper going, and it
issues and EXPECT, that things will work, but am willing to hack to make it so :)
