nfs mounting - pam considerations

[Margaret Doll]

I am finding that FC3 requires me to allow more open ports for NFS to  
work.  I have to modify iptables.  With  FC2, I did not have to do this.

With iptables off, NFS mounting works on FC3.

I have tcp port 111 opened now and am hunting for the additional  
ports that I need.
