Well,
I can use windows as NFS server (using SFU) but I do not want to. I
think it is too unsecure for my purposes.

Unsecure in the meaning of encryption?

Hmm, I think there is a variant or version of NFS that can do encryption,
however it might be easier to just use a VPN tunnel from the Unix machines to
the server.

But if you point me to some secure solution using NFS I would be very
grateful and I´ll try it, because I want to allow my users to use KDE..
I was really happy when I managed to use pam_winbind and pam_mount with
cifs for authetization and mounting homedirs. It really works very nice.
Is there really no chance to make KDE work with cifs?

According to Peter it seems to be rather a limitation of the CIFS server than
CIFS itself.

Cheers,
Kevin
