HP-UX IPFilter and RPC
Introduction
Chapter 8 123
Introduction
The script information and configuration files in this chapter are
designed to allow a system running IPFilter/9000 to run server processes
that use the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) mechanism.
The purpose is to automate the construction of appropriate IPFilter rules
for RPC server processes that do not use a fixed port number, but
register their port numbers with rpcbind instead. The services in this
example are for an NFS server, but the concept should work for any RPC
server application.
NOTE These set of files and scripts serve as basic building blocks for use at
startup time. All files are installed in /etc/opt/ipf/rpc.ipf. The
configuration files must be present in the appropriate directories for the
scripts to work correctly.
