adding 'root_squash' to nfs export on NS600

Question

One of the file systems we export from our NS600, via NIS, to our linux systems is /tftpboot, and because yum -update of the the tftpboot rpm automatically resets the ownership and permissions of the /tftpboot dir, we need to be able to mount the file system with the "root_squash" option. However, there's no place in the GUI to specify this. Our NS600 is running v.5.5.29-1

Is there a way to specify this option at the command line? Has anyone successfully used this option?

Thanks,
mark

Hi Mark,there is no explicit root_squash, but you can achieve the same through root= and anon= optionsJust do not list that tftp server in the root= export clause and root access from it will be mapped to noboby (65534).If you like it different you can use anon= to map nobody to a user your likingsee attached for how the NFS export options work togetherwelcome to the Forum Message was edited by: Rainer
