Yes, and no. You can set permissions on the root file system on the machine providing nfs, but that's not necessarily what nfs presents. Yes, you can change the permissions, but as part of the mount command as options to RPC. This doesn't actually change file permissions, but only what nfs presents to the client. They can be changed as part of a remount option as well. Note that you can't grant permissions as part of mount or remount that are less restrictive than the underlying share has on it's native machine. Well, you can, but it involves nfs running as root, and creates security risks unless done carefully. Depends on the OS and NFS version. NFSv4 supports access control lists, NFSv3 supports POSIX ACL for compatibility with Solaris, though it's not part of the NFSv3 protocol. They are not 100% compatible. Additionally, there are some things in the NFSv4 protocol that are not ( yet ) supported by Linux NFS clients, so some trial and error might be in order should you decide to go that route. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com No man is an island, but some of us are long peninsulas. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
