Hi all, I have a simple firewall setup based on the Mark Silver (?) tutorial from a few months back. I have an assignment to write a simple file server and client using remote procedure calls. I found a fair amount of documentation, including rpcgen, which is definitely going to be critical for my project. 2 questions: what would be a good way to transfer a file using rpc? Can I use ftp within my client/server system? Do I need to do anything special in my firewall to allow this? I believe rpc is still enabled in my /etc/services, but I would like the firewall to allow local testing and then remote testing. For Licq I had to add a few lines to the firewall config to allow those port connections. Since the RPC ports are already present, do I need to do anything special to allow this? Thanks for any help. This is going to be a big project in an already crazy semester. jcm -- "That depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." -President Bill Clinton "I don't know what you mean by the word 'ask.'" -CEO Bill Gates To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
