I have set up an nfs server with an iptables firewall for an rhel 5.3 system with the following rules: ACCEPT tcp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:nfs /* nfsd */ ACCEPT tcp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:sunrpc ACCEPT udp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW udp dpt:sunrpc ACCEPT tcp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:maxim-asics ACCEPT udp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW udp dpt:maxim-asics ACCEPT tcp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:892 ACCEPT udp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW udp dpt:892 ACCEPT tcp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:875 ACCEPT udp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW udp dpt:875 ACCEPT tcp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:pftp ACCEPT udp -- 172.20.8.0/24 anywhere state NEW udp dpt:pftp If I use another rhel 5.3 client I can mount the exported "folder" and navigate through it; however, I use the windows xp client (sfu) I get a permission denied. It apparently authenticates, presents the folder, but when you try to get into it, it has permission denied. If I turn off the firewall it works. Has anyone else had this problem and successfully navigated around it? (I don't want to turn off the firewall, and I don't want to implement cifs for the users this effects). The contents of my /etc/sysconfig/nfs file are: RQUOTAD_PORT=875 LOCKD_TCPPORT=32803 LOCKD_UDPPORT=32769 MOUNTD_PORT=892 STATD_PORT=662 STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=2020 And I have nfs, portmap, and rpcsvcgssd. _____________________________________ "He's no failure.
