NFS on the UW servers

[Peter Abrahamsen]

I'd like to put a plug in for SFS. It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a
lot better than NFS, SMB, etc for most of my purposes. It'd be nice if
someone ported it to Windows - shouldn't be all that much work, I think.

SFS lets users mount whatever SFS server shares they want, with
authentication and encryption. The mount is only available to the user who
mounted it. It uses NFS on loopback (mounted from 127.0.0.1), so it doesn't
require a kernel module, without needing to suffer the security faults of
NFS.

Packages in Debian and elsewhere.
