My understanding is that only NFSv4 and OpenAFS truly raise security,due to their use of the network-centric security system Kerberos: The system separates access control info not only from users (as shadow does, and is hopefully mimiced in the LDAP setup) but also from services - which is important for thin (and half-thick/"intelligent") clients with login service on untrusted media. I believe the difficult part of OpenAFS is setting up Kerberos, so that will apply to NFSv4 as well. Personally I favor OpenAFS due to its more MacOS (classic) like access rules logic and support for flexible distributed storage pools. NFSv4 may be more interesting to SkoleLinux due to its better integration with Windows. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
