Anyone with networked filesystems, I should imagine?
- rualca 6y ago>>Anyone with networked filesystems, I should imagine? You're either missing the point made by GP or being disingenuous. Please keep in mind that you need to explicitly mount a NFS before you're able to open it, and mounting a NFS not only requires explicit authorization but also only provides access to a specific file system mounted in a specific point following specific permissions. Accessing the whole internet through file:// without being prompted for permissions or consent or even awareness is an entirely different thing. For starters, the access is not explicit nor subjected to conditions.
