[PLUG] iptables and nfs

[Roderick A. Anderson]

We're just getting an "interesting" set of systems tied together.  One 
provides an nfs share for three others.

While fiddling around with the iptables settings on one of the nfs 
clients ( so I can access it from home this week-end I ) I did a service 
sshd restart.  Just few seconds later one of our testers reported an 
error related to a part of the application that accessed the share.

Sure enough a quick 'df' on the client hung at the nfs portion ... 
really hung and a check of the server said the mount was busy.  Finally 
I restarted  'nfs' and the nfs mount ... mounted.

The iptables setup ( and nfs configuration ) is pretty simple and based 
on some research that lead me to a Redhat page.

So is anyone else doing nfs and running iptables?  Does this feel like 
an iptables issue?


TIA,
Rod
