NFS on the UW servers

[Peter Abrahamsen]

Cere,

Thanks for that link. It looks like a local crypto filesystem. Valuable, but
not the same as SFS as I was talking about (mine from www.fs.net).

NB, I said in my other message that you don't incur the security problems
NFS prevents. This isn't entirely true, as there are various ways of
convincing the NFS server that you're connecting from the localhost,
according to the SFS documentation. The docs are quite well written and
thoughtful. Anyone setting up an SFS server should be sure to read over the
sections on server security.
