Re: QNTC and Domain Shares

You CAN also make it secure by using NFS' security model - it is based 
on UID and GID - maybe just one - not user names and passwords. And you 
can limit, on the NFS server, which IP addresses can successfully connect.

I think we have a paper or blog on this somewhere at some 
rjssoftware.com site. Try a google with site:rjssoftware.com and see 
what you get.
