Re: [xcat-user] [External] How to restrict xCAT's NFS shares?

Thu, 29 Nov 2018 01:39:02 -0800

the 2 shared nfs entries will be added on xCAT installation or upgrading or `xcatconfig -i/-f`
 
these 2 nfs shared directories are only used in 2 scenarios:
1) NFS based statelite
2) hierarchy cluster when site.sharedtftp and site.sharedinstall
any missing scenario?
 
We got some complains on this to be a security issue, we are considering not to export these 2 directories by default, provide some command or step to export them only needed in any of scenarios above, any comment or suggestion?
 
thanks

Yes, you appear to be correct. I just, for testing, uninstalled all of xCAT. Then I manually removed the entries, and re-installed the xCAT RPMs. Lo and behold - it did in fact re-create the entries (but did not remove them when uninstalling xCAT).
 
Thanks for the help!

I believe that is created when xCAT is installed. Not sure which RPM does it, though. Possible the main xCAT or xCAT-server package. I don’t see the file in any of the packages, so I’m guessing it’s created by a script.

My question is actually, how does the /etc/exports get generated, and how do I get xCAT to generate the exports file without the world-writable permissions?

 

Thanks,

So long as the shares are available to your provisioning network, it should not break anything.

I noticed that xCAT shares /tftpboot and /install as world-writeable. Is there a way to restrict these NFS shares to only the networks within the cluster, without making them globally available?

 

Specifically, xCAT creates this /etc/exports file:

 

/tftpboot *(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)
/install *(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check)

 

I would like it to instead create this:

 

 

(where 192.168.10.0 and 192.168.11.0 are two networks defined in the network table)

 

Is that doable?

 

Thanks!
