[RFC] Security Enhanced NFS (SENFS) Requirements - draft 05

[Mike Eisler]

Interesting. This seems to have overlaps with the TNFS stuff
  http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/OLD/tnfs-charter.html

which did produce an internet draft (draft-ietf-tnfs-spec-xx), but TNFS
never got traction in the market, and apparently the WG folded before
it produced an RFC.


(Found an old version of the i-d at
http://www.watersprings.org/pub/id/draft-ietf-tnfs-spec-01.txt
 )

The NFSv4 WG will meet at the IETF meeting July 23.
You should contact the WG chairs to
see if you can get on the WG meeting's agenda.
