Hey Gustin,

Yeah, been thinking to ditch NFS too, but with Kerberos support on NFS4,
LDAP...  There's got to be some way I'm just not recognizing to do a
proper networked, authenticated, domain-like file system under
(li/u)nix.  Am I missing something..?

I think what I'm going to end up doing for now use the NAS as a dumb
storage device and run samba on the server so it can control everything.
