    Hello,

    From what I've found, NetApp filer will refuse mount requests if the
    source port of that request is less than 1024, or "unprivileged". The
    problem we have right now is accessing NetApp trough the firewall.

    So we have a couple of NetApps and Sun servers that are behind
    port-mapping firewall. I can mount everything from Sun, but when
    we are trying to mount something from netapp, I get this error
    message on a client

    client% mount netapp1:/some_dir
    mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Client credential too weak

    With tcpdump I see how mount requests from client
    (client.678 -> netap1.sunrpc)are being translated on
    firewall: firewall1.61128 -> netap1.sunrpc

    My question is, if there is a way to put netapp in a
    less secure mode, to allow mount requests from
    unprivileged ports?

    Thank you
