I am setting up NFS/NIS using FreeBSD/i386 4.3 in order to share accounts and files with machines on a heterogenus network (IRIX, Linux, Solaris). In order to limit access to who can mount NFS disks, what do I need to set? I am thinking that I just need to set "portmap: 192.168.1." in my /etc/hosts.allow, and add a similar line to /var/yp/securenets. Is this correct? Also, lets say that I set portmap like above, can anyone on the network mount the NFS drive and then proceed to create fake UID's in order to r/w access a user's files? I am running on an academic network, so it is quite possible for someone to bring up a machine without my knowledge. Thank you, -- !! Mark C.
