NFS security

by tewfik . Updated 23 years, 4 months ago

It seems that NFS has an inherent weak point when being used over a network where workstation users have root privilege on their machines.
Indeed in a situation where the home is mounted through NFS, a user may su on his machine and then su to another user they get access to that user’s home without need for a password auth.
anyone knows of a workaround solution?
