- Hi out there,
-
- We are running the rpc.pcnfsd on a server with a restricted passwd.
- (only those users who are in /etc/netgroup on our nisserver are allowed to
- log in)
- The old deamon (PCNFS 3.5) did not care aboutthis, and every user could do
- his net name *
- But the new pcnfsd (pcnfsd.92.11.05) checks the local /etc/passwd and returns an
- "Authentication Failiure" to everyone not mentioned in /etc/netgroup.
-
- How can I open this securety hole?
-
- Ok, I know, I could install the deamon on a client, but I don't want to.
-
- Thanx in advance,
-
- Kay
