I thought that the MIT folks who built Kerberos also built a hacked-up version of NFS that used Kerberos for authentication (although the actual filesystem data was unencrypted on the wire for performance). But, I haven't been able to conjure it up out of Google. Any ideas? NFSv4 is definitely something that I'm investigating. It's a race to see if 2.6 makes it into a major distribution before my servers wend their way through the purchasing department. :-) Thanks, -Luke ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
