Yes. It's really not feasible to let RPC-based services through the firewall. I agree with your statement but when the firewall is setup this way you should not be able to select NIS or you should get a short message telling you the problem. We've hit this bug internally a couple times with AS 2.1 ia64. In fact, if you combine the two together, you run in to a bug I filed under 97710 where a user can't log in even as root in multi-user if NIS is set to broadcast binding and the default firewall is set up. I respectfully ask that someone take another look and re-consider. I suggest making it so "broadcast" isn't an available option when medium or high firewall is selected and apply this to the next Enterprise Linux and Linux release. I'm not sure what the protocol here is so I won't re-open this moment in case that's considered rude. Thanks. |
