firewall hell...

[Stephen Adler]

Thanks Jim, I did turn off the firewall (i.e. /etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables 
stop) and the mounts on my remote systems mounting my local home 
directory spring to life. So right now  I'm running without the firewall 
running, but since I'm not exposed directly to the Internet I should be 
OK... But it sure would be nice to get the firewall backup.

Cheers. Steve.
