NFS and mountable filesystems

[Brian Densmore]

Isn't there a more secure solution than NFS out there?
I seem to remember there being something else that was
recommended over NFS. The reason I ask, is I plan on
implementing such a solution to create a shareable directory
on each of my internal LAN PCs. Also, I want to create 
one PC that allows readonly access from my gateway/firewall
PC. I tend to try to keep my systems secure even though I sit
behind a firewall, because you never know when someone will
0wn your firewall and if that happens I'd like at least some
protection on my internal PCs.
