Binding CIFS to another port

rgeimer — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 05:53:33 GMT

I am using the WAR file version of Alfresco, an am running my servlet container on Linux as a user other than root. This prevents me from using CIFS, since only root can bind to ports below 1024. I would like to be able to bind CIFS to another port above 1024, then use IP tables to route the default

Hi,

You can configure the CIFS server to use non-standard/non-privileged ports and then use iptables/ipfw to map the port. In the file-servers.xml use :-

<tcpipSMB port="1445" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>
<netBIOSSMB sessionPort="1139" namePort="1137" datagramPort="1138" platforms="linux,solaris,macosx"/>

I have this setup under Mac OS X. The only problem I have is that I cannot get UDP/datagrams to forward using the firewall rules so I have to use either the IP address or add an entry to the LMHOSTS file on the client to be able to connect.

Cheers

Gary
