Hi !
I´m currently developing a jail-management solution - I use a
readonly mount_null for central software-management of the jails.
The manpage of mount_null says the following:
-----
-> man mount_null
BUGS
THIS FILESYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM. USE AT YOUR OWN
RISK. BEWARE OF DOG. SLIPPERY WHEN WET.
This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous - serious
hackers can apply by sending mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and announcing
their intent to take it over.
-----
The manpage was written May 1, 1995 - is using this tool still dangerous ?
My experience up to now was very good....
Do you see any security or othe problems in using such a readonly
mount_null within a jail ?
Regards
Marc Schöchlin
