Hi,
We got a mixed system enviroment here at my location, where we have had a
AFS filesystem for users homedirectorys. This we have started to move to
Windows using NFS export with WSFU and username mapping.
Now i got a big dilemma; A unix UID is mapped to a windows user. A Security
breach i noticed is if i would to setup a standalone unix box add the
usernamed from passwd file with correct UID. I could then login as root and
SU a certain user and then acceess the windows shared NFS mount.
I am hoping i have done something wrong for this to be possible, but yet i
am afraid this is a security hole that cannot be helped. But if so its a
terrible breach since anyone could hook up a Linux system and access private
files.
Plaese give som feedback on this...
