Re: nfsd/portmapper and iptables on Linux 4

Thanks again James. This works, but of course I feel I must be missing something wrt how to deal with random port assignment and iptables. So far I've gotten away with very only understanding of iptables syntax and rule making ...will read up and hope to get back to random ports eventually.

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.

Thanks,

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,
