NFS security settings

Although generally regarded as a vulnerable file-sharing protocol, you can make NFS more secure by using the following configuration settings:

  • Defining read-only access for some (or all) hosts
  • Limiting root access to specific systems or subnets
  • Hiding export and mount information if a client does not have mount permissions for the file system corresponding to that entry

In addition, if strong authentication is required, you can configure Secure NFS, which uses Kerberos. Configuring NFS on VNX describes how to configure these settings.

All NFS exports are displayed by default. To hide NFS exports, you must change the value of the forceFullShowmount for mount facility parameter using the server_param command.
