Re: Security mechanism of the NFS.
There really is no security mechanism in NFS.
NFS should only be used where the network is completely secure and trusted, such as behind a firewall.
NFS transmits its data in clear text making it readable by any on the network.
Samba can be teamed with encryption and used in place of NFS in many situations.

Re: Security mechanism of the NFS.
Other security is via your normal owner, group and world/other permissions on the files and directories.

Re: Security mechanism of the NFS.
Patrick points out an important security mechanism which I did not remember.
The data still goes unencrpted across your network for all to see, whether authorized to mount or not.

Also, don't forget VPN /IPSec etc.
Do a google search on NFS over SSL

Re: Security mechanism of the NFS.
The good news is that NFS protocol-4 does have cryptographic integrety and authentication. I'd expect to see that support coming soon.
