Why not restrict who can mount stuff with /etc/netgroup?

You could probably still be attacked if someone was able to add a
machine with the same IP as one of the ones in the netgroup. Not so
difficult, just power off one member of the group and bring up you own
machine. :(

Well, I guess that does not work unless you can control physical
access to the machine. Not an option :(

Oh well.
