[lug] Protecting Mount Points

[Kyle Anderson]

I agree, this is what I have done in the past too. Sometimes I also
stick in a text file in there before I make it immutable to remind
myself what I did, and other admins for the future.
Personally I have done a lot of head scratching before I remember to
do lsattr. :)

When the NFS export is mounted the mount point will take on the permissions of the export allowing the proper users/groups to write to it. I am about to set up a quick test to verify this but I was wondering if anyone already knows if this works or a better way to accomplish the same?
