Just to add my $0.02 in on the secure NFS thread.  It is indeed an oxymoron 
however, I though now might be a good time to point out the portmap 4 is out, 
it's supposed to be substantially more secure than previous versions.  I run 
redhat and got the rpm off of sunsite.

P.S.  I disclaim that I REALLY think it's more secure.  I just had to install 
it as part of an upgrade and I just looked at the first few lines of the 
README.
