I was recently looking at the man page for /etc/fstab on a machine running Ultrix 4.1. I saw a reference to the options suid and nosuid which do: suid: process the setuid attribute on execution of files in the file system. nosuid: do not process the setuid attribute on execution of files in the file system. I was wondering if Irix 4.0 is going to support these options in mounting nfs directories? This is in demand for the security of our systems using nfs. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv | Kenneth M.

Yes, 4.0 does support "nosuid" and "nodev" (disallows access to character and block special files) for at least efs and nfs filesystems.
