Lustre discuss - Jun 2006 - Client access control in Lustre 1.6beta?

How does one control client access to Lustre 1.6beta servers?

Thanks,

Brent

There is no restriction on client access (/etc/exports equivalent) in 
any version of Lustre.  If necessary it is possible to set up IP 
firewall rules to block clients from connecting to port 988, but this 
doesn''t work for non-IP clients.

The client entries in config.xml files are used only for writing 
configuration logs, not for access restrictions.  You can zeroconf mount 
a 1.4.x client from any node that has network access.  Permissions are 
only controlled at the file level.
