I want to make portmap bind to a single ip address. This is not only for security reasons - I have found that if I block the portmapper on the external interface NFS and NIS can hang because the portmapper binds to both addresses and makes connection using the first IP, which happens to be the one that is blocked by the firewall, so it never receives any responses from the NFS server. I googled this: http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/lofiversion/index.php/t18145.html Which suggests a solution, but I'm afraid that if I implement it some later SuSE update might overwrite my mods. How can I install a custom portmapper, so that it satisfies dependant packages and does not get replaced by SuSE updates? Or am I missing something basic above? Regards -- Simon Oliver

You might want to try fou4s (http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/) and put the portmap package on the RemarkList or IgnoreList (in /etc/fou4s.conf). Fou4s is a replacement for YOU (YaST Online Update), with focus on cron/mail/console usage instead of fancy windows ...
