Hello, I am playing with NFS on my home network for the first time and I have some difficulties/questions.
The server is a Synology NAS, it is based on Linux, supports NFS4 and gets configured by a web interface. The NAS offers a Kerberos authentification for NFS but I did not configure this. Instead, something called AUTH_SYS is enabled. Only one specific host is allowed to access the share. This is my entry in /etc/fstab: diskstation:/volume1/Medien /Daten nfs nfsvers=4,rw,x-systemd.automount,noauto 0 0 Mounting only works as root, I guess this is expected without further configuration. 1. Security: It seems that the only security check is the check for my IP adress. Is it possible to achieve more without dealing with Kerberos? 2. Accessing the mounted share with my personal user: The access rights for /Daten look right, the user on the NAS has the same name as the user on my machine. But: ls -ahl /Daten/ ls: cannot open directory '/Daten/': Permission denied sudo ls -ahl /Daten/ [sudo] password for xyz: total 340K drwxrwxrwx 14 xyz root 4.0K Jan 30 21:31 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4.0K Jan 24 09:58 .. drwxrwxrwx 5 xyz users 4.0K Jan 30 21:31 Directory1 drwxrwxrwx 4 xyz users 4.0K Aug 10 10:28 Directory2 Why can't user xyz access the mountpoint? Thank you for your support. Regards, Christian
