Hi,
Note that I added an input ACCEPT chain for the loopback device. This was
not available in the original situation. So in the original situation the
loopback device was unavailable, so the NFS daemons could not register their
services. When I add the ACCEPT chain the loopback device is reachable, but
portmap crashes on invokation of rpcinfo -p. Weird. I can't understand how NFS
functioned before without access to the loopback device.
Bye,
Leonard.
