    created nfs share in server, verified with normal nfs mount in client

    bash-2.04# share
    /test -public,sec=sys:krb5p:krb5i:krb5:dh,rw

    In Client
    ssh -fN -L "3049:servername:2049" servername

    Everyting verified:
    1. netstat -na|grep 3049
    tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.3049 . LISTEN

    1. mount -o port=3049 -v nfs 127.0.0.1:/test /test

    But it hangs there......
    Please help

    I got the solution.

    Its possible in version 4 of nfs.

    I gave the domain-name to nfs server and client

    #nfsdom server.xyz.com

    then started nfsrgyd in both.
    and exported /test in server with option nfs version 4 only
    in client,
    #mount -o vers=4 127.0.0.1:/test /test
    and it worked.

    I am also trying to mount an filesystem in NFS via a tunnel. The aim is to mount a fs via a firewall while nfs is not authorized.
    While you found a solution to your problem, i dont get it.. The solution you provide is not a tunneling solution, is it ? If yes, is it because you initialize you tunnel with the 2049 on both sides (as you dont provide the port in the mount command)?
    Thanks for you help
