Substitute "minidisk" for "SFS" in the above paragraph and it remains true 
(sans GRANT AUTH).  If you're interested in the LDAP server or in new 
things coming down the pike, you need BFS and that means operating an SFS 
server.

"Man does not live by minidisk alone."

And what's so odd about the GRANT AUTH commands?  You can grant 
authorization to files and directories.
