Restrict NFS access

[george_57]

Hi Experts,
Is there any way I could restrict certain users access to NFS mounts?

Thanks in advance

Change the permissions of the mount to only the groups of users that require it.

e.g. Joe, Fred and George are part of group 'nfsaccess'

# chgrp nfsaccess /mynfs

Hi

Also the file /etc/exports can be configuted to allow/disallow mounts of the NFS file system

e.g.

sysadmin@N-0/>cat /etc/exports
/avroTWO -anon=65534,ro,root=k1:k2,access=k1:k2
/avro -anon=65534,ro,root=k1:k2,access=k1:k2
/MONTHEND -anon=65534,ro


See man NFS.

You could setup netgroups to define what access you want. In /etc/netgroup add lines

groupname (hostid,userid,domain)

Then in /etc/exports assign the export access by netgroup name. You can do a man netgroup for more information.

Good Luck.
