You mention "secure", so are you trying to restrict access to the data? For unauthenticated access, any userspace nfs daemon should be able to do the job fine. Another project is nfs-ganesha, which I believe is under more active development than unfs3; but unfs3 I think tries to do less, so it may just be older and more stable. Trying to provide authenticated access may be more difficult. I'm not sure if anyone has done that with nfs, but if SMB is an option, you could try samba. Another option, if you're just wary of running the kernel AFS client on the relevant machines, is to run the FUSE afs client, which some people do for unauthenticated access. But of course, that only works on systems with FUSE (this works on Linux, but also at least in theory would work on OS X and some Solaris, I think just Solaris 11). -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
