FC8 and NFS service

[Bill Davidsen]

I am trying to replace a bunch of NFS servers with new machines running 
FC8. The NFS server is doing some kind of evil security check which was 
not present in FC1, causing connection rejects like "invalid port 
XXXXXX" messages. Since the port works against the FC1 server, and there 
are 120-140 clients per server, running various operating systems, the 
solution lies in telling the NFS service to stop doing the unwanted 
security check and treat anything coming through iptables as valid.

Has someone a thought on this? Changing clients isn't going to happen, 
and it seems the Solaris NFS server works (or the upgrade from FC1 might 
be dropped).
