ypserv is another RPC based service, so it usually binds to a random
port. However, it can take the -p option at startup to specify the
port, so you can probably edit /etc/init.d/ypserv find the start)
section and specify the -p option followed by the port you want to use.
Give that a try and see if it works for you.

Cool, thanks a lot.
Similar question now tho ...I see that ypbind on clients also cannot
find ypserv on the Redhat 4 machine (again, it is the firewall
blocking ports). Is there a similar solution for this? (or
dissimilar, i don't much care :) )

Yes. I know this problem well :) There are a couple of RPC services
in addition to portmapper and nfs (rquotad and mountd) used by NFS
that bind to a random port at startup.
The solution is to add the ports to your /etc/services file such as
the following:
rquotad 950/tcp
rquotad 950/udp
mount 951/tcp
mount 951/udp
Restart nfs, and those two services will bind to the ports specified.
Just add those ports to your firewall rules and you should be in
business.
I hope that helps.
Thanks,

I've just put up a Redhat 4 system (call it nfsServer) and am unable
to nfs mount file systems from it on other machines ...unless I turn
off iptables on nfsServer.
I think the problem is the client is unable to see portmapper on
nfsServer. In the past I've opened udp ports 111 and 2049 in
iptables but this doesn't do the trick with the Redhat4 box. Note, I
had SELinux turned on but have disabled it for now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
