Hiya!

I'm thinking about setting up NIS or NFS communications between two servers.
The problem is that there's a firewalling router sitting in between and that
one doesn't allow dynamic port assignments.

So, is there any way to "lock" the protocols to certain port uses?  In Novell
NetWare 6.5 all NFS/NIS ports are fixed, so that's no problem, but I can't
find any relevant info about SuSE Linux.

Or, is there a software firewall that DO support dynamic port assignment?
