Maybe it's just me, but I'm surprised that nfs is so widely used. It seems to be very insecure for an internal lan. The "security" I see it using is host based and client uid based. Neither of which are good internal security. Is this all nfs can do? I can imagine evil_cracker from plugging in his laptop configured with an allowed IP and his username as my uid and mounting rw network shares. At least smbfs/smbmount authenticates with a password, even if it is transfered using an insecure protocol.
Sheesh, putting ipsec on every machine and using opportunistic encryption internally seems more and more attractive and worth the setup.
