Template:oldfaq There are several reasons you can't NFS mount your Peyton home directory (/u/username) to your home PC or one in the dorms:
- Since we cannot verify if you have all the latest security patches and precautions installed on your home PC we cannot allow a possibly insecure machine to mount a secure resource.
- The data between your PC and our network will not be encrypted which means anyone can eavesdrop on any of your NFS chatting.
- OIT does not allow mounting between subnets unless it is to specific machines. They will not consider 100 separate request for Dormnet connectivity to other secure networks. In fact I would be surprised if they allowed it at all since they consider Dormnet inherently insecure. Other home based PCs could be even worse.
