Hi,

Can some one tell me is this a different product than just "NFS" Our PM is asking if this is an HP product or Available to install in HP-UX server. Is this a secured version of NFS?

I would appreciate some comments on this.

Thanks
Rajim

If you want a secure nfs check out stunnel

There is no "Secure NFS" for the HP-UX platform as far as I know. Sun had a product by that name (don't know if they still do or not), but it was proprietary to Solaris. The only way I've heard to encrypt data transmissions via NFS on HP-UX is SSH tunneling, as Paul pointed out.

HP will be introducing Secure NFS on HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31). This Secure NFS will work with NFS Version 2 and 3. We will also be introducing NFS Version 4, which has integrated security, on 11i v3.
