To all networking afficionados,
I'm looking for information/scripts/code on determining the
level of security of Ultrix and other BSD-compatible systems vis-a-vis
NFS access. I'm hoping that something is out there which would assist in
keeping this system secure against intrusion and also be a tool for new
Sun workstations coming online - to make sure that the new system
administrator has secured the appropriate partitions in /etc/exports, among
other things..
Is /etc/exports the only nfs security mechanism between the
world and the workstation user?
If you have any references, or experiences, please pass them
along, and I will summarize interesting results back to the net.

not necessarily. certainly things along the lines of using kerberos
for the authentication and fixing your mountd and running fsirand,
etc. go a long way toward cleaning up the nfs act on a unix box. as
to *how* to do this, or (better) to make the stuff from sun out of the
box do this, send followups to sun!sunbugs and comp.protocols.nfs ...
