I am trying to configure NIS on a host configured with anti-spoofing ipfw rules. This host is the domain master server and I want it to bind to itself. It looks like it is sending a broadcast on the ethernet interface looking for a portmapper. But this broadcast is being blocked by ipfw. When I open up ipfw the system binds to itself right away. The rule which is causing trouble is: 01300 deny log ip from 10.0.0.236 to any in recv pn0 The intention, of course, is to block spoofs, but it is also blocking its own broadcasts. Is there a better way to code the ipfw rules? Is there a better way to get ypbind to bind to localhost? -- daniel lawrence AlphaZed, Ltd mailto:danny@AlphaZed.com http://www.AlphaZed.com +44 (0)1322 410 419 London To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
