Hi,
 
I need to make a NFS server (under AIX) run behind a firewall. Which ports should I open?
 
I know that some ports are fixed (nfsd always listen the 2049 tcp/udp port), but mountd, for
instance, binds to a random port and tells portmap about that.
Is there a way to fix these ports? If not, is there at least a known range
on which these processes listens to?
 
Thank you
