Configuring NFS for control by IPTABLES and other firewalls

---- The introduction ---

When setting up IPTABLES firewalling for Linux systems running the NFS service 
(network file system), you hit the problem that some of the TCP/IP and UDP 
ports used by components of the service are randomly generated as part of the 
"SunRPC" mechanism.

This HOWTO document is part of the LinWiz tool kit, and describes how to set 
up NFS on your server in such a way that meaningful IPTABLES firewall rules 
can be applied to the system.
