You'll definitely want to do some more reading about it. Allowing remote root access via NFS isn't necessarily a very safe thing to do, particularly with the default "we trust the peer's notion of UID/GID" AUTH_SYS mode. A better idea is to just live with the notion that one doesn't write to files over NFS when running as root. Or, if you do it anyway, then make sure the directory in which those files exist is world-writable so that user "nobody" can write to them. Opening up root access isn't too different from making everything world-writable. If "nobody" isn't to your taste, you can set up "root_mapping=uid" to change it to some other value. See share_nfs(1M) and nfssec(5) for details. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
