Along the lines of the Kerberos transaction processing question:
I would assume that Kerberized NFS retains the stateless nature of
standard NFS (implicit question number 1), and thus each request
for a file read would have to be authenticated; individual sessions last
only long enough to send one disk block. If so, a reasonable question is:
how much of a performance hit does knfs take relative to insecure
nfs on the same platform.
I would expect something like kerberized nfs to be a practical worst
case for overhead due to authentication. (implicit question number 2).
