Hey All, We have a shared nfs machine that is used between multiple client machines. While this in itself is ok, any client that issues a `showmount` command can see the other mounts that are currently established. I can't for the life of me figure out how this is a good thing. I big security related `no no` comes to mind whenever I see all mounts from all clients returned back to me from a client. Now, mountd doesn't have a `secure` option to turn this off, but I have developed an untested patch for doing this. I think the reasonable default behavior would be to return only mounts that the physical host making the request currently has established.
I guess my real question is, has anyone ever been concerned by this? ~Paul This message may contain confidential or privileged information.
