Folks, I have just been informed about something that we have been discussing recently on toasters. The issue was exports allowing NIS netgroups to be used in the rw= and root= options on the exports of file systems. The above RFE was posted
7 YEARS AGO
The reason for not allowing this was sited as performance issues. Well, we have come an awful long way with speed and abilities in this time. I think it is just plain silly that this RFE has been ignored for so long. Solaris allows this now and I don't think the issue will be resolved until enough people complain.
It was suggested that I submit a case about this RFE which I am doing now. Unless it gets a bunch of requests it will continue to be ignored another 7 years.
Anyway... if any of you want to hop on this bandwagon and get NAC to address the issue, it was suggested that we all enter cases about this.
