Subject:   ipfw+nfs kills both client and server
Message-ID:  <20020228102830.GA73010@elvis.mu.org>

If anyone is interested, take this scenario:

NFS client and server set up

client is doing this:
  tar cf - /path/to/nfs/mount | tar -xvf - 

idiot sysadmin (me) does this on client:
  kldload ipfw

Now since the default ruleset is to deny everything, the client
locks up spewing 'nfsd send error 13'.

Now give it two or three shots and you may get the server
to lock up as well!  (seems to run out of mbufs)
