Hi all,
I'm trying to set up the portage directory to be hosted over nfs.
Everything is working great but I would like to increase the security
a
little. I was wondering if there's an easy way to restrict 'emerge
--sync' to only work on the server, while still letting all the nfs
client machines download sources and emerge packages.
Have clients only mount portage read-only and put distfiles in another
fs and make it read-write.
Also you should disable locking on distfiles if you use it over NFS:
FEATURES=-distlocks.
-a
Why would I need to disable locking? Wouldn't that stop multiple users
from downloading the same package at the same time and bring up
potential race conditions that can break the emerge?
