Secure NFS on Linux?
by Robin Lee Powell 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

Hey, all. I feel bad because this is my first post in about a million years, and it's a question, but here goes. Is there any way to make NFS even vaguely secure on Linux? I'm thinking something like sec=dh on Solaris, but _anything_ that will stop a random unix host from being able to access everything on our shares would be fine. -Robin -- http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/

Re: Pleading the 5th
by Reese 07 Apr '01

07 Apr '01

Napster has a problem because what they are holding was initially purchased by someone, who then violated the copyright notice by .mp3 encoding it and uploading/making it available. They are a more lucrative target than the millions of somebodies, so they were targeted by the RIAA. OTOH, I didn't pay you for your email I have on my hard drive, and I see no copyright notice on it. I think I'll send it to a couple different places. >Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2001 07:33:37 -0500 (CDT) >From: Jim Choate <ravage(a)ssz.com> >To: cypherpunks(a)einstein.ssz.com >Subject: CDR: Re: Pleading the 5th >In-Reply-To: <20010406013345.B28444(a)cluebot.com> >Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96.1010406073243.14587h-100000(a)einstein.ssz.com> >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII >X-Mailing-List: cypherpunks(a)ssz.com >X-Unsubscription-Info: http://einstein.ssz.com/cdr >X-List-Admin: list(a)ssz.com >X-Acceptable-Languages: English, Russian, German, French, Spanish >Sender: owner-cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net >Precedence: first-class >Reply-To: Jim Choate <ravage(a)ssz.com> >X-List: cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net >X-Loop: cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net >X-UIDL: FB~!!_a9"!'_$#!&)B!! > > >On Fri, 6 Apr 2001, Declan McCullagh wrote: > >> Private property != intellecutal property.
