The security/cfs comes, of course, with the original tarball.
Therein resides a file named README.install, amongst others.
Here we can read:
4) Create the cfs bootstrap mount point:
# mkdir /null
# chmod 0 /null
5) Add this line to /etc/exports:
/null localhost
...
6) mkdir /crypt (or whatever you want to call the cfs mount point).
Since the 'make install' doesn't it follows I should. I also checked
http://www.freebsddiary.org/encrypted-fs.html where is said to put
'/var/tmp localhost' in /etc/exports.
I don't think that's as good since, say, vi uses it in times
of need (vi.recover).
Still, it makes me curious. Is there something to be said *against*
the /null with mode 0 tactic? A google search didn't deliver, nor
could I find much in the mailarchives. Thus I'm asking here <g>.
