sfsrwsd_config(5)

NAME
sfsrwsd_config - file server configuration

DESCRIPTION

Hostname name
    Set the Location part of the server's self-certifying pathname. The default is the current host's fully-qualified hostname.

Keyfile path
    Tells sfsrwsd to look for its private key in file path. The default is sfs_host_key. SFS looks for file names that do not start with / in /etc/sfs, or whatever directory you specified if you used the -with-etcdir option to configure ().

Export local-directory sfs-name [R|W]
    Tells sfsrwsd to export local-directory, giving it the name sfs-name with respect to the server's self-certifying pathname. Appending R to an export directive gives anonymous users read-only access to the file system (under user ID -2 and group ID -2). Appending W gives anonymous users both read and write access. See Quick server setup, for an example of the Export directive.

    There is almost no reason to use the W flag. The R flag lets anyone on the Internet issue NFS calls to your kernel as user -2. SFS filters these calls; it makes sure that they operate on files covered by the export directive, and it blocks any calls that would modify the file system. This approach is safe given a perfect NFS3 implementation. If, however, there are bugs in your NFS code, attackers may exploit them if you have the R option--probably just crashing your server but possibly doing worse.
