I still think joining http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs and contributing to the Wiki would better serve this audience. > -- > I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. > Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business. > - Michael J. Fox An excellent start. With regard to firewalls, a simpler if less-secure approach it to open the firewall to trusted machines on the local net. Might want to address the "insecure" parameter in /etc/exports for those using NAT. Fixing a few typos ("variou configuration" "But bere is") would take you a bit further down the road in an asymptotic approach toward perfection. :-) Regards, Phil Hi! Phil, I joined in the list and am waiting for the first digest to get a feel of it. I somehow just felt that making the article over my blog and then once I feel it is complete, submitting it to the documentation will be much easier for me to keep a track of things. Generally I tend to miss out quite a few mails in these lists... :( Thanks for the correntions. Also I have added a long list of options that are available for use in /etc/exports. I am not sure how insecure affects NAT users. I am no Linux guru, though I have been using it since 6-7 years now, I am much more a enthusiast than a pro... That is one reason I am interested in getting sufficient and right document in place. Though we have lot of document it is very scattered, so I am playing my part as much as I can to get a consolidated documentation in CentOS and Fedora. Kind regards, Rohit
