Note that the nfs://host ioslave will still be working (*), in addition to system mounts. The only thing discussed here is the suid script (and related GUI) that allows users to make nfs shares. (*) so even if "almost always system mounted" is not so true, we still have a client solution that doesn't require mounting. Which I like very much because it doesn't make your machine hang when the server is shut down and you forgot to umount the share... (But then again, sftp:// is easier to setup and more secure). Anyway, I don't know if user-controlled sharing should be kept or removed. It would be interesting to have Mandriva's feedback, since the feature was coded by Mandriva developers, years ago. -- David Faure, [email protected], http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by Nokia to work on KDE, incl.
