We all have 386's on our desks running RFS and have enjoyed having root access to our machines, but not on the server. From what we have read, this is not possible under NFS. Is this true? We are in the process of changing over to NFS from RFS under 386/ix in order to use the large disks on our MV 40000 running DG/UX. Is seems that the only way to prevent root access on the server under NFS is by appointing one person as the administrator. It doesn't make much sense to have one person responsible for an entire network of 386's. He would have to be responsible for changing the mode of files, killing processes, etc. No one around here wants grunt work like this. Is this really a security issue, or are we misinformed? Is there a solution? ADVthanksANCE, -Jim -- James Logan UUCP: uunet!inpnms!logan Data General Telecommunications Inet: logan%inpnms@uunet.uu.net (301) 590-3069
