8/26    How do I prevent a particular host or user from having write acess
        to an NFS mounted disk?  There is some rogue process tring to fill
        up my disk, and I haven't been able to block it.  I've tried
        variations on
        \_ what server os?
        \_ you can prevent a certain host from writing to a volume but you
           can't prevent a user from writing if the file system has been
           exported in read-write mode to that host.
           \- actually there is kind of a hairy way to do this with
              some experimental work on nfs filter layers. the work
              involves some extensions to the *_quash routines.
              while it is experimental, the people doing it really know
              what they are doing ... however this is probably one of
              those cases where "if you have to ask, this 'solution' isnt
              for you". if this is you really important you can talk to me.
              ok tnx.
