Within the context of the Linux file system mounting framework I would agree with you.
However, in the context of a Directory Service managed resource framework it does begin (I should emphasise the begin) to make sense. In the latter resources would ideally be managed in global network manner, and there should be some constraints on what context a local machine or individual can interact with the network resource.
Hm, I'm not sure I follow you. First of all, someone can unmount it. So why shouldn't the admin of the machine be able to delegate this to others, in the same way as for other file systems? Secondly, are you seriously saying that it's possible through policy to prevent a client from *un*mounting a resource? I can understand that there are rules about who can mount and from where, but surely a client can at any time say "no, I don't want this share anymore" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
