Hello,
I also want to firewall an nfs server. The box that it's running on uses pf, it's a 6.2 box. I've got tcp port 2049 open, and am not sure what else to open or what other daemons to start. I'm also uncertain as to whether FreeBSD uses nfs v3 or v4? I want to export home directories to five or six different linux machines, some ubuntu and most centos5 and i remember vaguely reading about nfs v4. If anyone has this working i'd appreciate pointers.
Thanks.
Dave.

Are we talking about same entities?


I added the -p switch to mountd(8) a few years ago, as I needed to run a read-only NFS server exposed to the outside world; to firewall it I needed a deterministic RPC port number, which is what -p gives you. Otherwise you have to rely on the TCP wrapper support built into rpcbind(8). The rpc.lockd and rpc.statd daemons were recently changed to incorporate this switch too, although I don't think it has been backported to the 6-STABLE branch yet.
