NFS and firewalls

The best way I have found to enable NFS on a Fedora system that has a firewall is to manually assign some of the NFS ports that are usually auto-negotiated and open just those ports in the firewall.
To do this, you can use Fedora's gui tool: system-config-nfs. In that interface, you can adjust the Server Settings as in the following screenshot:
...or just edit /etc/sysconfig/nfs to read:
LOCKD_TCPPORT=4001
LOCKD_UDPPORT=4001
MOUNTD_PORT=4002
STATD_PORT=4000
