I have recently decided to use some extra disk space on one of my servers as backup space. I have NF client and Servers running OK, but was wondering how secure it really is. In the nfsd setup, we specify what clients are allowed to connect, by simply useing the host name. So if in my nfsd configuration, I specify a host called 'ahab' for example, how does the nfsd authenticate this host, and how secure is it? -Grant
