I'm interested in mounting a remote drive over the internet. I'm aware of the security concerns associated with NFS <=3 (lack of authentication being one).
Has anybody set up Samba or NFS4 drives to be mapped by a host somewhere on the internet? Sun states that one of the primary aims of NFS4 was to enable the secure mounting of drives over the internet, not just insecure mapping on a LAN. I spent a few hours with NFS4 without much luck. In my searching, I've seen references to kerberos being used with NFS4. Are there other authentication mechanisms that can be used? I'd rather not spend a ton of time figuring out kerberos just so that I can play with NFS4. -Brent -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
