I am in the process of evaluating a Unix file server system using
tcp/ip and nfs.  The prospective users have heard stories of nfs
security being poor and this is putting them off using the service.
 
As far as I can see nfs is no worse than tcp/ip and Unix itsself
as far as security is concerned.  Is there something I have missed
and should particularly look out for?
