From 95aa4adaec0f6543a5fb9db112953d8ec9a100ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steinar H. Gunderson" Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 16:09:33 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Document sensitive gids The exports(8) man page already mentions that some non-root users, such as bin, might be just as sensitive as root, and that root_squash thus might not be as effective as one could hope for. Update the documentation to also mention that this could be the case for non-root groups, such as staff. --- ChangeLog | 11 +++++++++++ utils/exportfs/exports.man | 7 +++++-- 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 8014fb4..2331086 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +Author: Steinar H.
