If you set up your hosts.allow with machines you want to access the server e.g: `portmap: 192.168.0.x , 192.168.0.xx` & your hosts.deny e.g: `portmap:ALL lockd:ALL mountd:ALL rquotad:ALL statd:ALL` you can then makes the shares world writable. If that's of major concern to you, you can add in hosts.deny: `ALL:ALL` but you may run into problems adding new services. Portmapper first visits hosts.allow & any entry it finds in there is allowed access. If it finds nothing corresponding in there, it then checks hosts.deny & follows the rules set there. So it will accept any entry you set in hosts.allow & then block all other access making it secure. Not the Red Hat way one suspects but down & dirty & it works. Not advisable for forward facing, production machines, etc, etc...
