If you can establish a tcp connection to an NFS(v3) (and are in the

accessing every file on the share. If you control every node on the
network, you can attempt to secure the clients so users cant get root,
but what about the scenario of a userspace NFS client pretending to be
root?

NFSv3 uses UDP, and was designed to be a stateless protocol.  But the
server can also be configured to ignore root, or be read-only.  NFSv3 is
definitely 'cooperative' only.


Actually, you're both right. NFS version 3 can use either TCP or UDP for transport[1].
