NFS on Fedora 11 is working, want to know how, the easy way?

[n2xssvv.g02gfr12930]

Just a note to you Fedora folks out there. I have managed to set up a
local LAN with NFS working without disabling the Firewall, (SELinux is
set as permissive), and only requiring the changing of 2 files as all
the other changes can be made using GUI configuration tools. My
experience of setting this up found that the information available on
the web was incomplete or patchy at best, and involved more manual
editing of system files, (need to be careful here). Rest assured folks
it really is not as hard as it may appear, (ok, I've been maintaining my
Linux PC for ~6 years), so let me know if you want more details.

I noticed upgrading from FC9 to FC11 that the /etc/sysconfig/nfs file changed to not default setting the mountd_port en statd_port to fixed values.
changing this to fixed, and allowing these ports in iptables, and NFS worked fine

I am sure that many are interested - so why not post the details?

I'm curious why you had to do anything tricky, other than opening the firewall
for NFS and using the appropriate export options. I certainly don't ever turn
off SElinux, it's the number one reason to run Fedora rather than Ubuntu.

Please share.

I do hope you know that I made sure my configuration was more secure
than just that. Check out the hosts allowed and denied,
