Yes, for NFSv2, this test in nfs_permssion(): if (!NFS_PROTO(inode)->access) goto out; And for either version of NFS, if the uid and gid are non-zero, and the permission bits indicate that an access is permitted, then the client does not consult the server for permission. -- Jamie - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
