    NFS provides most any level of security you desire; not many vendors
    implement NFS security, though. NFSv4 requires the implementation
    of GSS_API (i.e., Kerberos V based) security in NFS.

    Don't complain that NFS is insecure if it's just because you don't
    want to invest the time to configure it properly.
