what do I have to configure to use SuSEfirewall2 with NFS on the server and on the client? I am aware that for one of them, the SFW2 is maybe not suited. So does any of you use NFS with SFW2?
Good luck. I know exactly how you feel. Steve.
Ditto. I just went through a painful learning process with SuSEfirewall2. I have a firewall, a DMZ, and an internal network. The NFS server sits in the DMZ, and I can access it from the internal network, the DMZ, and the firewall. Here's the important parts of my /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2: FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP="domain 600:1023" FW_FORWARD="0/0,0/0,udp,2049 0/0,0/0,udp,800" I don't think this is the "right" way to do it, but it works. On the other hand, I'm thinking of using samba instead, since it's a little more disciplined in its use of ports, and it's more "robust" in that a hosed up firewall won't lock your machine so hard as to require a reboot to fix it. (I hate NFS. Is this really the best that we can do?) dk
