I used to have pretty good luck with AFS but it has been a few years
since I have setup an extensive system like that.  I know back then they
both had security holes, and I am sure that everything out there will
have some, but AFS seemed to run more stable on our systems than NFS.  I
had always heard the oposite, but that is just my experience.
