No. You do not need those to achive what your are looking for. > In other words, what are nfsv4, gss and tcp-wrapper? nfsv4 - is the latest NFS protocol version gss - used to secure NFS mounts tcp-wrapper - is a mechanism to allow or deny hosts access to your NFS server. > > Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated. np.. steved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ NFS maillist - NFS@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs _______________________________________________ Please note that nfs@lists.sourceforge.net is being discontinued.
