Hey there

We have a client ( running Solaris 8 ) that we would like to back up to our
server ( Solaris 8).  The client is outside the firewall.  Our internet guy
has RPC turned off ( security hole ) .  The server get a 'Connection Timed
Out'.  I am assuming that because of the RPC being off it can't make a
connection.  Is there a way around using RPC ?  If not is there a more
secure RPC ?

Thanks for the help
