I prefer to use WeDAVS for such mappings. Using Novell's NetDrive
application in Windows lets you mount it as a drive and in Linux you can use
davfs. It's secure and works pretty well.

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.
