NFS export hiding

Hi,

the PowerShell OneFS Seurity Configuration Guide 9.2.0.0 explains how to hide nfs exports from unauthorized hosts. I did the following:

 

isi_gconfig registry.Services.lwio.Parameters.Drivers.nfs.MountdDeniedStatusOnNotAllowed=1
isi_for_array /usr/likewise/bin/lwsm restart onefs_nfs

 

 But every host, allowed or not, can still view the whole exports list with "showmount -e". I can only disable the showmount command, but then even the authorized hosts cannot see the export status.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello dirkuos,

Are you using OneFS: Best practices for NFS client settings?  Here is a link to the kb if you need it. https://dell.to/3a6WI8G

Hi,

no, it's not about the client configuration. I'm talking aubout the manual "PowerScale OneFS: Security Configuration Guide 9.2.0.0.". On page 59 under "NFS best practices" and "Enable export hiding" it says, that you can set the system variable registry.Services.lwio.Parameters.Drivers.nfs.MountdDeniedStatusOnNotAllowed=1 to hide the exports from unauthorized hosts. I did set the variable and restarted the nfs service, but all clients can still view the exports with "showmount -e".

Hello dirkuos,

You are going to need to open a support case so that we can look at the logs to see why it is not hiding the exports.
