True. NFS is port 2049 by default, anyhow..
Good example, yet this is true on some platforms but not on others.
A firewall system should not be running any kind of filesharing;
while
you can run PF, IPFW, etc on your fileserver, that ought to be a
secondary line of protection for "defense in depth", and your
Internet
connection ought to have a dual-homed or multihomed firewall machine
which is dedicated to that role and which runs zero services.
Right. However, I don't trust the rest of the clients on my subnet
other
than the ones I maintain, so that's why I have setup the firewall
rules
I have.
You really don't want to mix machines which are trusted with machines
which are not trusted on the same subnet. If you can't control which
client machines get which IPs, you pretty much cannot use firewall
rules to restrict filesharing only to the legit clients.
Sorry for not more clearly defining the situation earlier, but here's
the reasoning / rationale for what I'm doing..
<IT nightmare>
- -I live in a house with a shared LAN with a total of around 50 hosts
connected / disconnected at various times of the day.
- -I don't trust any of the Windows clients devoid a small handful
because
I have had a variety of connectivity problems caused by improperly
managed personal machines, virii, and spyware on machines here.
- -There isn't a real means of properly controlling IP distribution
and
people are free to change their IP addresses to whatever they choose
(host information is set statically, not dynamically).
- -I have 5 machines which have access to the network--2 serving
machines
and 3 clients which aren't always attached to the network. I have set
the IP addresses up so they all lie in a range, but I don't trust
whether someone will IP squat my address and do whatever they want
to my
serving machines (whether they mean to or it happens by accident).
- -Some of the machines on the network have access to the machine
serving
via Samba, but that's a limited number.
Perhaps you should consider setting up your own private subnet for
your machines, and having a firewall guarding access to your machines
which performs static NAT for the set of five IP addresses you've
made claim to.
