Re: [PATCH 0/5 v2] nfs-utils: provide audit-logging of NFSv4 access

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've gotten requests for similar functionality, and intended to
implement it using directory notifications on /proc/fs/nfsd/clients.

But this is another way to do it that I hadn't thought of.  That's

disadvantages.
