Hi toasters,
as we are getting more and more secure we do now have some firewalls within our internal network which prevent us from accessing e.g. installation files or some tool-stuff from central stores on our filers.
I have tested a little bit with ssh-tunneling for NFS. With my client this works well, but i have trouble doing this with my filers.
Here is what i do:
client>> ssh -f -L 7777:filer:2049 -l root nstore2 sysstat 100 client>> ssh -f -L 8888:filer:4046 -l root nstore2 sysstat 100
Where 2049 is the filers nfs port and 4046 ist mountd.
On the filer i have exported a volume /vol/test to the filer itself.
When i now run
client>> mount -t nfs -o tcp,port=7777,mountport=8888 localhost:/vol/test /mnt
The client hangs and on the filer i see the message:
[openssh.dispatch.protocol:warning]: SSH dispatch failed from address myclientsIP, type 90, packet 10
Has anybody ever tried this or has an idea where my problem is?? Or does anybody know if this is absolutely impossible with filers?
Best Regards and thanks in advance
Jochen
