Philippe, thanks for you help. I tried searching on google but got a lot of mixed results. I've used netstat in the past but didn't know about rpcinfo. I did find a useful resource at http://www.lowth.com/LinWiz/nfs_help.html but it is a little out of date (SuSE 7.3). This recommends tying down nfsd (and associated services) to specific ports so that less holes need to be opened in the firewall. Tying down the ports seems quite messy according to the guide, and I'm worried that an automatic update could overwrite one of the altered files and cause something to stop working. Also, are there any known problems with tying down rpc services to specific ports rather than using random ports? Regards -- Simon Oliver
