It's just flatly amazing to me how much hard labor people will happily endure while never addressing the real, easily fixed, bug; namely that NFS uses unauthenticated RPC by default. Not shipping kerberos (or the functional equivalent) as a fully integrated part of one's OS is a lot like shipping a cpu whose fdiv instruction doesn't work. Just my humble opinion.
