You do not set up a password per share.
You set up Kerberos. NFS is able to use Kerberos then. So the user authenticates against Kerberos, not against NFS.
Do you know of a howto or easy to follow documentation on this?
There are bazillions of HOWTO setup Kerberos. I think <http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Kerberos-Infrastructure-HOWTO/> is quite old, but still OK, since there were not too many changes ;-)
And for using NFS4 with and without Kerberos, you might look at <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto>. Ubuntu tends to long, descriptive texts because of the experience the users already have ;-) So, the package name may differ, but the rest of the article is OK.
You can even use a search engine (google.com, alltheweb.com, ...) and search for "howto kerberos nfs4 opensuse" and you might find something like <http://www.novell.com/communities/node/3787/configuring-nfsv4-server-and-client-suse-linux-enterprise-server-10> :-) A bit more up to date is <http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/opensuse_guides/opensuse11.1_reference_guide/sec_nfs_kerberos.html>, but they propose merely the same ;-)
And to "easy to follow": I read one page (in german, iirc) and did as the author described, it worked fine after I adapted everything to my environment. So I guess you can take about any howto ;-)

Hi Some good links there. An easy way to get an excellent Kerberos server is to install Samba 4: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO We are using that as our KDC for Kerberized NFS for our openSUSE and Ubuntu clients. Our win 7 boxes use the cifs side of it. It's interesting to compare the speeds of the two filesystems.
