Re: Authenticating NFS users

All of the information I can find seems to suggest using kerberos, is there a simpler alternative that could do something like check a username+password? You can use NFS via a SSH or VPN tunnel. The reason that it is complicated is that when you authenticate to the server, you need also a ticket that tells the server you authenticated. Else you'd need to type your password every time you check a file on the NFS. Kerberos is a clean way of exactly doing that: handing out the tickets to track sessions. SSH and VPN tunnels basically do the same: keep a lasting session. You can probably try some firewalling techniques for a simple a-little-less-easy access to the NFS. Sjoerd Well, on a non-public facing NFS /etc/exports would do the trick on which hosts can mount what. There is also auth_sys, but that relies on a sort of trust ring really. As far as SSH tunneling, it's an unnecessary overhead if it's not a public network or public-facing network (on the entire network), if it's not public-facing and has wifi or people you can't trust who access it, I would then look into stream encryption. Normally in a cheapo situation I would have a public non-public NIC where the NAS server is on the non-public end tied to a switch and the public end (all computers but the NAS server) is simply tied to a router on the first NIC. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You can remove remnants of the file using over write methods but you need to make sure they properly implement the algorithm and do your own research on the algorithms to make sure they were designed or were updated for modern hard drives. EXP: Gutmann method was designed for older HD's and will not work on newer HD's most of the time (depending on who implements it). Now, removing remnants of the file doesn't make it unrecoverable (in all circumstances), you might be able to still do a very low level recovery, something they would generally reserve for say, a RICO investigation, terrorists an those sorts. The only way to stop any and all data leaks, recoveries or anything of the sort is to either Degauss, Destroy or use Encryption on the drive from the get go and to be honest, the only proper implementation of drive encryption (beyond the actual encryption) would be RedHat (and this is only because they offer the ability to span encryption across multiple drives and recommend it) and no drive encryption (beyond truecrypt) offers deniability. Something I've brought up on both Debian and Ubuntu and even to Redhat. As a matter of fact, Ubuntu developers fought with me over the idea telling me that only criminals could possibly want plausible deniability, but Ubuntu is rather closed minded most of the time when it comes to this sort of thing. -- Cheers, Jordon Bedwell http://envygeeks.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
