This is really killin' me, so I was wondering if you guys (and gals) can help. I'm trying to setup encrypted NFS with ssh on a Redhat 9.0 box, and I'm almost there. Below are the notes I put together. Really straightforward, but I keep getting the error:
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
I'm a desparate man, I just want to post it on my site cuz I think it would be cool.

~ In case you're curious, some firewall setup for portmapper (port 111) and
nfs (port 2049), these rules are taken from 'cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables'
output, as you can see, I just modified the lokkit rules, this works ok as far
as I can see, because nfs starts and portmapper works -DK ~
