Hi, I am sorry to disturb you. I've got your e-mails from Shorewall mailing list. I have problem - Linux pc (at 192.168.0.1 + external ip) which runs 2-interface shorewall (along with mail/web/ftp), cannot connect to YP NIS server running on internal network (192.168.0.11). ypbind requires portmapper (tcp/udp 111), ypbind itself uses randomly selected ports in range 600-900 (you can obtain them through "rpcinfo -p localhost"), I have opened ALL tcp/udp ports from loc to fw, however, ypbind client still cannot communicate with the server (even if I am explicitly specify NIS server IP). Any idea how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s) ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
