Bluntly put, very stupid and dangerous. NFS is affectionately known to
stand for No F*cking Security. Basically the protocol works by trusting the
client. Since you can not trust the client in a wide-area scenario, you're
opening yourself up for disaster. You could get away with exposing a small
subset of your files to read-only NFS access, but anything other than that
can be written is wide-open to the world.
