ports 512-514 are open on both sides. The machines are on the same local
network without any firewall apart from their own ones. portmapper is
running on both sides. So what netfilter can be in the way?

The only thing I'm not sure about is selinux (I do not fully understand the
configuration, which is still "default" on this machine) Can that in the way?

Or do I need other ports than 512-514?
