Hello, I'm working on a new version of the NFS Exports module, to add the support of NFSv4. I've questions about the current module: - the "Active?" field is a bit difficult to understand. What do you think about a more common "Export Now / At boot / Both"? - The fields: Make symbolic links relative (link_relative), Deny access to directory (no_access), Don't trust UIDs (squash_uid) and Don't trust GIDs (squash_gid) don't exist on Linux in NFSv3 nor in NFSv4. Do they exist for other OS? Did they exist in NFSv2 on Linux? Do you think they are still relevant? (theses options are passed to the command exportfs which ignores them). Regards, Fred. |

I think the current settings are OK, as there can still presumably be a button on the main menu to apply the current setting .. this would just activate all exports that have been marked as active. > - The fields: Make symbolic links relative (link_relative), Deny access to > directory (no_access), Don't trust UIDs (squash_uid) and Don't trust GIDs > (squash_gid) don't exist on Linux in NFSv3 nor in NFSv4. > Do they exist for other OS?

The module is only for Linux, so you don't have to worry about other OSs. They certainly work with NFSv2 though .. Perhaps a good solution would be to detect the version of NFS in use, and hide those options if they are not supported? - Jamie |

If you send me the module, I can test it against Solaris 10, so that it will be usable for all OS's. ---- Randy |

I forgot to say I'm working on the Linux version of this module (exports.wbm) and as far as I know Solaris uses its own module, dfsadmin.wbm. But I'm also working on the Mount module (mount.wbm) which is common for all OS. I'll recontact you when I've finished. Thank you for your offer. Fred. |

I'm sorry, I won't modify the Solaris version of the mount module, I'll only release the linux version. Maybe you or somebody else will do the solaris version reading the linux code. Fred. |
