Also, note that it's relatively easy for someone with access to the network to treat all of /exports as rw. In general, export points that aren't mountpoints are not usually a good idea. --b. > > I tried this in /etc/exports: > > /exports/dump 1.2.3.4(rw) > /exports 1.2.3.4(ro) > > Rgds > -- > -- Pierre Ossman > > WARNING: This correspondence is being monitored by FRA, a > Swedish intelligence agency.
