I didn't set up ipfw for a couple of days in between setting up a small
nfs server for an in-home lan, and I got this in my system log.  I realize
that I should have set up ipfw before doing this now, but any ideas what
just happened?  Here is the log:

And it cut off there.  This is a home machine, and yes, I realize that a
firewall should have been running first, however, I didn't have time.  I'm
a relative novice to rpc and nfs in general, so any clues would be
appreciated.  Thanks,
