Hello everyone,
I am setting up a new system for use as a testing/demo/trial-and-error system. I have installed CentOS 4.4 on it. There is not an X-environment, so I will need to fix this from the command line (via ssh access).
I am trying to do an nfs export from this box to another on my internal home network. I have figured out that it is a firewall issue on the CentOS box (I turn off the CentOS firewall and the mount works).
My problem is that I am not sure how to resolve this. I have not done any configuration with iptables before. In the file /etc/sysconfig/iptables are the lines: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m udp -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT
and there are not any deny lines above these. I think those lines were added when I ran system-config-securitylevel-tui. Those are the only lines that I can find that mention port 2049 or nfs.
Those lines look to me like they are for accepting incoming connections only. Is that correct?
What do I need to do so that I can do the nfs export out of this box? -- Doug
