nfs4 + kerberos gives authentication and encryption and requires very little in the way of configuration. No offense, but VPN on a local LAN is just silly Well, at my work they're rather paranoid. For some, we have to tunnel internet through the corporate network, For others, we tunnel our corporate network with voip over public networks.
Indeed, sounds odd, it is odd, but true.
NFS4 is still on my "to investigate" list
Good boy. But does he run a network? Can we include him? I don't think we can. He tels of his experience of networks but doesn't mention a network address, kerebos whatever that is firewall, ip client and ssh. . . So no. sorry.
He's more than qualified to give you advice for the complexity level of your network. kerberos is an encrypted, time-variant authentication system. The reason for time-variance is so that when you send your encrypted password, someone can't capture it with a network sniffer program and use it later, because the encryption of the valid password keeps changing as time goes by.
