Hiya all! I've got a problem I need help with. My set-up is a SmoothWall firewall, a NetWare 6 server on the "internal network", a SuSE 8.1 Pro server on the DMZ net. Now I really, REALLY need to make use of the NetWare servers ability for Native *nix file access (NFS & NIS) to mount some of its exported volumes on the SuSE box on the DMZ. Of course the SmoothWall blocks ANYTHING that tries to make a connection from the DMZ to the internal net, why have a FW otherwise? Anyway, in the "good old days" when licensies for NetWare was cheap, I could've used ncpfs (that always connects to the NetWare via TCP port 524 and then open that specific port in the SmoothWall) to mount volumes, but that eats client connections on the NetWare server that I can't afford to loose. So the solution is NFS... But as of what I can see in NFS documentation for SuSE, there is no specific port used for NFS/NIS, it instead asks portmapper for a connection to use. I'm not at all familiar with portmapper, so here's my problem... Can I *make* NFS/NIS to use a specific port (range of ports) to connect to the NetWare server? If I can, how do I accomplish that? If it's possible, then I can simply open up that (or those) ports in the firewall and keep the rest locked up. Thank you for helping! Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting
