Thanks for the clear answer. We have a few setups where an
infrastructure is close to not possible (Kerberos) thus at the moment we
are deciding between switching to samba for username/password
authentication from NFS or uses the long-expected LIPKEY. samba might
have other inherent security flaws but practically security is not a
priority of our concern at the moment. Your information is directly
helpful for making a decision:) thanks!
