What are the server and client security considerations?

72.What are the server and client security considerations?

Ans.

Server security considerations:

1. Always use the root_squash option in /etc/exports.

2. Enabled by default so do not disable it.

3. With root squashing clients root account can’t even access or change files that only server’s root account can change or access.

Client security considerations:

1. Disable SUID (set UID) programs on NFS mounts using nosuid option.

2. Prevents server’s root account from creating an SUID root program on an exported FS, logging in to the clients as a normal user, and then using the UID root program to become root on the client.

Before configuring network card we must check loopback (IP address 127.0.0.1) is working. 3. Even if the compute is not connected to outside network internet network configuration is required for some applications. This address is known as loopback device, and its IP address is 127.0.0.1 4. To check loopback device is configured or not, we use ‘ifconfig’ command it shows a device called ‘lo’ with the address 127.0.0.1, if this device and address is not shown there then loopback is not configured. 5. To configure it we can use command ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 after that we need to use the ‘route’ command to give system a little more information about this interface for this ‘route add –net 127.0.0.0’ command is used, after this loopback is setup. 6. To configure a network card we will use ifconfig co...
