I guess what I should be asking is where/how do I bind specific ports?I can't find anything in the man pages (at least the ones I'm looking at) to set this up. I am running the kernel based server so I may have a harder time with all the configuration options, but I don't really know.
I opened up port 111 for the sunrpc protocol, but that's as far as I got with the firewall.
But I'm not really sure what I am supposed to do with this: RPCMOUNTDOPTS=in the /etc/defauls/nfs-kernel-server. I think this is the point where I'm stuck. The man page for rpc.mountd mentions things like: ' --port num' but setting : RPCMOUNTDOPTS="--port 2049" fails because it doesn't know how to handle these options/string/format. By default, it should use 2049, but I don't think it knows that? Something doesn't, that's for certain.
When I first started trying to use nfs, I open port 111 (sunrpc) and then it was trying to access a port 815 (or something in the 800's) and that didn't map to anything. And there I realized that I wasn't getting this right at all.
