IMO, so is the notion of divine deities, but that doesn't answer the original posters question, nor my response to Henning. We implemented, NFSv4 using AD, Kerberos, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, no OpenBSD though, and to me complexity was the biggest issue. It was very difficult because of all the potential points of breakage and inter-dependency. Out of all of the protocols though it was the most transparent for our multi-platform support. -- James A.
