Jim,

Thanks again for the additional information. Currently this is for a
small internal network only. The entire network (and the systems inside
of it) are all behind a firewall from the outside. I am also currently
limiting the nfs export to a specific machine in my /etc/exports file.

Eventually, I will be trying to do nfs over ssh for a little more
security, and if I want to take this to an outside network. I will also
look into limiting access by subnet and/or machine addresses.

Thanks again for the info.
