NFS authentication via kerberos?

[edward@murrell.co.nz]

Yes, although support for it seems to be spotty.

Rather, I would reccomend looking at NFSv4, which has lots of nice stuff
like Kerberos and ACL support built in. Depending on the variety of
systems, you may have to run a dual setup of NFSv3 and NFSv4.
