firewall hell...

[Stephen Adler]

I'm using NFS. I allowed NFS4 in the firewall configuration application 
but that still didn't allow the autofs mechanism to work. I didn't do 
anything to configure what kind of nfs I'm running, all I did was enable 
nfs via 'chkconfig nfs on' and 'nfs start'.

Cheers.
