I am trying to configure NIS on a host configured with anti-spoofing ipfw
rules. This host is the domain master server and I want it to bind to itself.
It looks like it is sending a broadcast on the ethernet interface looking for
a portmapper. But this broadcast is being blocked by ipfw. When I open up ipfw
the system binds to itself right away.
The rule which is causing trouble is:
01300 deny log ip from 10.0.0.236 to any in recv pn0
The intention, of course, is to block spoofs, but it is also blocking its own
broadcasts.
Is there a better way to code the ipfw rules?
Is there a better way to get ypbind to bind to localhost?
