[Firehol-support] Error after Panic mode

Hi,

The way the default NFS service is implemented, if portmap is not allowed
by the running firewall, you will have to stop and start the firewall.
This is because FireHOL has to query the portmap in order to find the NFS
ports.

If you are using NFS in production systems, I suggest to make nfsd and
mountd run on static ports (the documentation has a link to the NFS-HOWTO
that says how to do this). Then you can define the services nfsd and
mountd using the static ports you used and get rid of the portmap query.
