Extended account squashing using a numeric parameters #7

[Mark Hobley 2009-09-06 06:36:48 UTC] This is an idea to extend NFS account squashing to allow a range of accounts to be squashed by providing a numerical parameter. The idea concerns implementations of NFS on Linux.

On Linux, currently only the root account can be squashed via NFS. However, we could extend this facility by using a numeric option added to the /etc/exports file.

For example:

/foobar 10.0.0.0/18(rw,squashbelow=14)

This would squash all accounts numbered 14 or below.

This option could still be used with the no_root_squash option:

/foobar 10.0.0.0/18(rw,squashbelow=14,no_root_squash)

Here, accounts 1 to 14 are squashed, but the root account (0) is not squashed.
