Then all of a sudden this weekend it started playing up I had a look with ethereal and found that the port numbers had changed. I went to my favourite site "LinuxQuestions.org" and did a NFS search and the bottom line is that NFS stinks because the ports it uses is random. > > > QUESTION: Do you foresee any problems opening all ports between LAN and LOCAL Peter, NFS ports can be "pinned" so that they do not change. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.guarddog/989 for one example. This would be more secure than needlessly opening ports, but it is more effort. - Mike ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
