During embedded system developement, I use an NFS root mounted filesystem that is exported from my development workstation. I am constantly having to "su root" on my development workstation when I want to manipulate the root filesystem for the target machine. I was wondering if anyone uses a safer technique that allows manipulation of the target's root filesystem without being root on the development workstation.
I know I could make the exported filesystem all be owned by my unprivledged user and group name, but I would like the target machine to see those files as owned by root as would normally be the case. Anyways, I was just curious if I am missing out on some cool technique that other's use that I am not brilliant enough to come up with on my own.
