Why can't you make mountd on Ultrix 4.X reject mount requests from 
non-privileged ports? turning on "nfsportmon" in the kernel doesn't
quite do the job properly. Things that make you go hmmm...

Install a good portmapper so that remote hosts can't easily find what port
mountd is on.  A better solution is to make sure that your routers kill
all NFS packets from remote nets.  

Any idea what I should block on my router to do this?  I have a cicsco
router if that's any help.
port 2049 is the NFS port ( normally UDP but the TCP port should be 
blocked too as some newer NFS implementations support TCP ...)
blocking it at your router should ( I think ) block all NFS attacks


Also, does anybody know of a mailing list or FAQ for cisco setup.  I find 
their manuals cryptic.
for a cisco the following line in an access list should block incoming NFS
to class B net 147.233

access-list 1<xx> deny udp 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 147.233.0.0 0.0.255.255 
        eq 2049
(one line - this of course does UDP only & the access list must be 100-199
of course you would have to allow the conections you do want to allow - as
there is an implicit deny all packet at the end of each access list )


while on the *incoming*  port you would have
int eth <n>
access-group 1<xx>

(if you have version 10.X you can also block on the outgoing port - 
        RTFM.. :-)
