Consider some arbitrary name under /, say "/foo", which doesn't exist on your system and which is non-standard (not part of the FHS). It may belong to some Debian packages, but you don't intend to ever install such packages.
The question is: is such a name free for any use? e.g. create a directory and use it as a mount point for NFS. Is it OK that anyone who has a write access in this directory can become root on the machine? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
