There is not secure NFS. Sun sells something by that name, but it's
really an NFS with DES and NIS+. AFAIK it is not supported under Linux
or any other system besides Sun's for that matter. By the way: it has
been cracked, too.
"Secure NFS" is an oxymoron.
Oh, and if something has Secure in the name and comes from Sun, then be
afraid, be *very* afraid.
