We are beginning a task to look into nfs, especially security aspects.
We are scheduled to look into the benefits of Kerberized NFS and
Sun's Secure NFS (secure RPCs).  If anyone has any advice, experiences, 
knowledge of security problems in nfs, or can point us to good
literature sources, the help would be appreciated.

Also details on what security is built into nfs, and how kerberized and 
Secure RPCs work would be helpful.


Thanks in advance.
