Jim, Thanks again for the additional information. Currently this is for a small internal network only. The entire network (and the systems inside of it) are all behind a firewall from the outside. I am also currently limiting the nfs export to a specific machine in my /etc/exports file. Eventually, I will be trying to do nfs over ssh for a little more security, and if I want to take this to an outside network. I will also look into limiting access by subnet and/or machine addresses. Thanks again for the info. -- Doug Registered Linux User #285548 (http://counter.li.org) ---------------------------------------- Random Thought: One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. -- Helen Keller
