Networks needing a greater degree of privacy and authentication can try
AFS/Kerberos (entailing non-free server-end software). SubstitutingLDAP-SSL for NIS is arguably a step forward, but then NFS remains a
problem (No Friggin' Security).

Doesn't NFS v4 answer some of these problems? Does anyone know of whenwe'll see nfs v4 and what it's security features are?


Regarding AFS/Kerberos, isn't openafs an OSS solution?
