Alternative to NFS
by Andreas Achtzehn 01 Nov '01

01 Nov '01

Dear list readers, we have been extensively using NFS to export file systems to other computers. Since we are now in a phase of reauditing our network for security, be are searching for an alternative to that very insecure and part-time even instable protocol. Do you have any advice on which system to use? It should contain at least the same amount of features lacking all the possible security holes. Kind regards, A. Achtzehn

Hello! Let´s say i have a big LAN, with a few gateways and a firewall. As bigger your networks get´s the more you will be conflicted with pepole who want to "explore" your LAN. Thats why i was wondering how you can detect spoofing hosts. And why can spoofing be so dangerous, i couldn´t think of an good example. Thank you! Spiekey
