Use NFS and make sure that you have it configured properly and
don't allow
any NFS traffic through your routers.
most secure method is definatly not NFS !! use samba instead...
Is this being serious(thats not sarcasm, its a genuine question)? I thought that samba was a MS based protocol and as such was as secure as a wet paper bag? Is it really better than NFS? if it is I will remove the NFS from the plan as samba may be used for the nt support.
