Yes, no_root_squash is BAD.I'm in new territory here, using thagrol's nas guide to get started. He mentions a few options related to squashing, terse man-page style, but I don't yet understand the implications. Ten minutes of web browsing gives me the impressions that making this work would either be a BAD thing or complicated:
Some think no_root_squash is bad with a capital B.
Some places talk about Basic NFS security, but I'm more in need of advice than detail.
Is my goal possible in a reasonably secure AND simple way?
But in spite of that I still use it. It's convenient for me. My network is secure. I use those shares for access to data, not programs. I've been running this way for 25 years without incident. Yes, there's always a first time, but by the N+1 theorem, I'm good for another 25 or 30 years
