Assuming all required directories are on the same fs, what happens if you 
*only* export the parent directory?  Something like this:

/mnt/nfs \ 
192.168.178.7/32(rw,sync,insecure,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=250,anongid=250)

Thank you for the explanation. I've got it.

Thank you for your explanation too.
However, I didn't get it until Michael explained it in other words.

It seems that the "su" useflag is building the "su" utility, and that
this useflag is enabled by default on gentoo.

See 1 and 2.

So I guess that if "su" useflag is disabled, the "su" utility is not
built nor installed.

[gentoo-user] What does su user flag actually mean?

2024-10-21 Thread gevisz
I skipped updating my profile from 17 to 23 in the beginning of June 2024
and are now installing Gentoo anew. I have disabled pam use flag globally
and now portage complains that for the package linux-utils "the following
REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied: su? ( pam )"

I have tried and found out that that package will compile if I also disable the
su user flag. However, I do not understand the consequences.
The explanation of the su user flag says that with +su user flag
linux-utis will be compiled into "the su program"

Can somebody explain to me what it means?

Thank you.

The su command (Substitute User) can be built either by emerging the sys-apps/
util-linux package with USE="su", or by emerging the sys-apps/shadow package 
similarly.  The wiki states "Avoid installing both these commands 
simultaneously":

Actually, the converse turned out to be right. Removing the top-level /mnt/nfs 
spec from /etc/exports allowed the whole thing to spring into life.

Go figure, as they say in the colonies.  ;)
