Descriptions

The default configuration for autofs 5 (autofs5) in some Linux distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 and 5, does not specify the nodev mount option for the -hosts map, which allows local users to access "important devices" by operating a remote NFS server and creating special device files on that server, as demonstrated by the /dev/mem device.

La configuración predeterminada para autofs 5 (autofs5) en algunas distribuciones de Linux, como Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) versiones 4 y 5, no especifica la opción de montaje nodev para el mapa -hosts, que permite a los usuarios locales acceder a "important devices" mediante la operación de un servidor NFS remoto y creando archivos de dispositivo especial en ese servidor, como es demostrado por el dispositivo /dev/mem.
