Let's say that I have two machines, server.foo.com and client.foo.com server has one NFS exported volume which is for client.foo.com (diskless). showmount looks something like this: % showmount -e server.foo.com export list for server.foo.com: /export client.foo.com is this exploitable? How would it be exploited? Is there a way to keep people from exploiting it (besides not exporting it)? cc
