Re: [CentOS] Firewall and nfs mounts

Here is what I don't get about that: 1) NFS4 doesn't rely on portmap anymore (according to RH documentation), so I assumed that 2049 was all I needed to worry about, however, unblocking that port doesn't do the trick. 2) How do you tell which version of NFS you are running? I am on 5.3. rpm -qi

I would go buy a cert. They aren't much money and you can specify the granularity you want the cert to have, the more granularity, the higher the cost but they are not that much anyways. Wether your site in internal or not is irrelevant as you should approach your LAN as a hostile place. A
