Hi, It appears nearly impossible to firewall a NFS server on FreeBSD. The reason is that NFS related daemons use RPC, which means they don't bind to a deterministic port. Only mountd(8) can be requested to bind to a specific port or fail with the -p command-line switch. Is there any reason other than "no one has needed this yet" why this option is not available for nfsd(8), rpc.lockd(8) and rpc.statd(8)?
