NFS mounts and user permissions
We need to allow ordinary users to preform NFS mounts on a AIX server without giving them root access to the server. Is there a way to give an ordinary users root access on a tem basis or a script to allow them to preform NFS mounts?

We have 2 servers in cluster. Node1 has an ext3 mount for backups and the other connects using NFS to this node1.
I believe the reason it is configured in this manner is to not duplicate backups since this is a Database server. Not sure this was the reason though. Right now if node1 goes down all... (5 Replies)

showmount
SHOWMOUNT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SHOWMOUNT(8)
NAME
showmount -- show remote NFS mounts on host
SYNOPSIS
showmount [-Ae36] [-a | -d] [host]
DESCRIPTION
showmount shows status information about the NFS server on host. By default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file systems
mounted on the host. See NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC 1094, Appendix A, and NFS: Network File System Version 3
Protocol Specification, Appendix I, for a detailed description of the protocol.
-A Search for NFS servers advertised via Bonjour.
-a List all mount points in the form: host:dirpath
-d List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts.
-e Show the host's exports list.
-3 Use mount protocol Version 3, compatible with NFS Version 3.
-6 Use only IPv6 addresses to contact servers.
SEE ALSO
mount(1), mountd(8), nfsd(8), mDNSResponder(8)
BUGS
The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless. showmount will only display
the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
HISTORY
The showmount utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
