Even if you don't kerberize it, consider using NFSv4 instead of NFSv3. It's more powerful, more correct, and easier to manage. When it first came out Linux NFSv4 wasn't very high quality, but it's pretty good these days. I wouldn't recommend it for such a small team, but if you ever go crazy and want to kerberize the world, we've got a class for that: http://www.gurulabs.com/linux-training/courses/GL550/ Finally, I've never used it but AFS is still a lesser known, interesting alternative. -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
