system group vs netgroup difference

By OK -
"System groups" (often just "groups") contain users[1], and are one of the basic security concepts in UNIX and many other operating systems. Each user belongs to a primary group and any number of secondary groups; a group, like a user, can be allowed to access or modify certain files and directories using the usual chown, chmod, chgrp, setfacl tools.
"Netgroups", on the other hand, are part of NIS/YP directory services system used only in Unix-like systems. A netgroup contains entries in the form (hostname, user, nis-domain) (with all three items optional), and can describe a user on any host, any user on a specific host, and such. Netgroups are not used with files directly, but only by NIS-aware programs: NFS exported filesystems, sudo, system login rights.

NFS mount add in fstab _netdev instead of default | firewall-cmd --list-all

By OK -
Redhat recommends us to add  _netdev  option for NFS file system in /etc/fstab. So that they can be mounted after starting the networking service. Alternative ways to refer to partitions: Label : LABEL=label Network ID Samba : //server/share NFS : server:/share SSHFS : sshfs#user@server:/share Device : /dev/sdxy (not recommended) Example #1 //192.168.1.134/share_name /mnt/share_name cifs username=server_user,password=server_password,_netdev 0 0 ^ Path to your share ^ Mountpoint ^ Username ^ Password ^ See note A Note A: The  _netdev  options makes sure the mount is only attempted AFTER a network connection has been established. Example #2 10.10.10.1:/vol1/fs1 /data nfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 ============================ [root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --list-all public   target: default   icmp-block-inversion: no   interfaces:   sources:   services: dhcpv6-client high-availability ssh   ports:   protocols:   masquera
