57.What are the advantages of Network file system (NFS)?
Ans.
1. NFS provides centralized control maintenance and administration.

 2. It is easier to back up a file system stored on a single server than to backup files scattered across a network.

 7. Users can protect sensitive information that would be time consuming to recreate by storing it on NFS mounted file system.

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.
