OK, I'll bite.  We have been looking at NFS as a UNIX/VMS server solution
for PCs.  From the begining of the investigation we were looking for
things like the 'huge security holes'.  Somehow I must have missed it.
I certainly have heard Netters alluding to such a thing.  Would you be
willing to spell out the problem, perhaps even complete with recommended
solutions or workarounds?

I may just be a hopeless case.  I had never considered using an IP
gateway for security purposes either.  When I read you message a tiny light
went on in my head for just a second... then I started thinking about
name/domain serving, additional levels of indirection, and so forth
and the light went out.  Do you encrypt your secure side?
