63.List all the Network file system (NFS) scripts.
Ans.
1. sync – It forces NFS server to perform disk write operation before informing client that request is complete.

2. async – It makes NFS server to cache disk write operation.

3. hide – It hides subdirectory of an exported file system.

4. nohide – It unhide subdirectory of an exported file system.

5. ro – It gives read only access to clients who has mounted the exports.

6. rw – It fives read/write access to clients who has mounted the exports.

7. root_squash – It prevents root user on an NFS client from having root privileges on NFS server.

8. no_root_squash – It disables root_squash.

9. secure – It accepts only if generating from port numbers less than 1024.

10. insecure – It accepts client’s request even if generating from port numbers higher than 1024.

11. secure_blocks – It requires clients to be authenticated who request for lock operation.

12. insecure_locks – It doesn’t require clients to be authenticated who request for lock operations.

13. subtree_check – It ensures only a part of filesystem is exported and file requests apply to files in the exported portion of the file system.

14. no_subtree_check – It disables subtree_check.
Two additional configuration files if you’re using NFSv4

15. /etc/gssapi_mech.conf – It implemets NFSv4 features. It controls gss daemon one need the information to configure secure RPC. It needs no modification.

16. /etc/idmapd.conf – It is idmapd daemon. It translates NFSv4 IDs to user and group.

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.
