     I've been told several times that NFS is rather
insecure, though no one has ever mentioned what exactly the
problems are with it.  Maybe you want to look and see if
wind0ze boxes support Coda.  And what ftp daemon were you
running?  wu-ftp is the default, but some people like
proftpd, and I know that one had security issue too awhile
back.
