Clearly, you have not followed the current developements in NFS if
you believe you can't use secure-key technology.
Please check out the BSD 4.4 Lite distribution from O'Reilly, and
check out the FICUS papers (John Hediemann's stackable file system
framework) on ftp.cs.ucla.edu.
While you are at it, grab the Sun white paper on NFS 3.0.
And you are simply dreaming if you bitch about compatability when
running the secure version of anything.
If you don't care to secure all of your equipment by running non-
antiquated software, may I suggest ipfilter?
