Secure NFS in a Hetrogeneous Environment

[Nicolas.Williams@ubsw.com]

There's at least two Secure NFS server implementations: Sun's
and NetApps'; there may be others that I don't know of.

There's at least two Secure NFS client implementations: Sun's
and the University of Michigan's Linux port, the latter still
being under development and not yet in the Linux kernel 2.5
tree; again, there may be others I'm unaware of.

Ask your vendors...

Cheers,

Nico
