nfs module?

[nuubs]

Hello python gurus and everyone else!

I've been tasked to write a python program to help with auditing. The program
will involved auditing NFS links and checked for permission and proper security
settings.

Does anyone know if there's an NFS module already made in Python? If there is,
it would make it a lot simpler, I think... , to code the program. I made an
extensive search on it but found none.

Any suggestion or ideas are very welcome.

I'm new to Python so, slap it to me!...

Thanks!
Angel

Do you want to audit NFS by using the UDP protocol,
or do you just want to check if the filesystem contains
some links which could be unsecure?

If you just want to check the filesystem, you only need
the os and os.path module.

DON'T YOU ALL JUMP IN AT ONCE! GEEZ, SORRY TO POSE A NON-TRIVIAL
QUESTION. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT'S ABOVE AND BEYOND EVERYONE'S
COMPREHENSION.

AND I ALSO APOLOGIZE ASKING FOR HELP FROM PYTHON GURUS HERE AS IT IS
OBVIOUS THERE ARE NONE.

WELL, ITS ABOUT TIME TO BAIL-OUT OF THIS USELESS FORUM...FOR ME THAT
IS.

I GUESS I HAVE TO LIVE WITH OS, OS.PATH, SOCKET, SHUTIL, AND WHATEVER
PYTHON HAS TO OFFER.

BTW, DON'T BOTHER TO REPLY. YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE.

THANKS? NO THANKS.

I realize we can all get testy at times, but that was way over the
top.

A quick look on google ("python nfs") turns up:

I can't tell you anything about it though.
