I am speaking from experience w/ AIX, I am assuming that your implementation on NIS/NFS works similarly. If you are talking about root access to the NFS filesystems, absolutely, root access to an NFS mount can be controlled on a host to host basis, if the linux hosts mounting the NFS FS's is not in the root access list, even the linux root users can't affect the FS beyond the permissions granted by the server. -- Linux SxS [http://hal.humberc.on.ca/~mrcn0031/sxs/] _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
