Here's the RFC 2623 for connecting Kerberos with NFS and RPC. I'd be interested
in people's opinion of this, what it may still be missing, etc.
http://sunsite.auc.dk/RFC/rfc/rfc2623.html
Abstract
This memorandum clarifies various security issues involving the NFS
protocol (Version 2 and Version 3 only) and then describes how the
Version 2 and Version 3 of the NFS protocol use the RPCSEC_GSS
security flavor protocol and Kerberos V5. This memorandum is
provided so that people can write compatible implementations.
