Hi managers,

I have a third part backup software to backup SUN (Sol 7) boxes. The backup server is behind the Firewall and the client (WEB Server) is outside the Firewall. Backup software uses rsh to backup the clients. (Please don't suggest ssh now I will do it in the future). In the Firewall we initially allowed ports 512, 1020 and 1021 (depending on the drops). Then it works six months then few drops appear in the FireWall logs on new ports. This in the middle of the night and the backup fails. Then based on the drops more ports are allowd. FW guys deney any changes to the FW rules. I have captured the port numbers via netstat during the backup. The open ports for backup as follows:

Is there a way I can restrict rsh to open only a limited number/s of ports.

Thanks in advance
