I'm wasn't proposing machine creds in acl's (although that's an interesting idea). I took a quick look at the section on the WriteOp (14.2.36) and didn't spot any statement that the server was required to check for file permissions when a WriteOp is performed. (Most will, because they don't trust the cred. enough to accept the related Open or Write Delegation as sufficient. Local POSIX file access doesn't check file protection on every write, so it seems to me a V4 server doesn't have to, if it can trust the cred enough to believe the Write is associated with the Open or Write Delegation related to it by the stateid.) However, it sounds like the consensus is that that is too much trust, at least for most cases. Anyhow, just a thought, rick _______________________________________________ nfsv4 mailing list nfsv4@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nfsv4
